No Near Beer to Minors in Michigan

In Michigan, you may not sell or give a minor a "cereal beverage" that has ANY alcohol at all - even a fraction of a percent - if it is sold under a name like "near beer," "which is capable of conveying the impression to the purchaser that the beverage has an alcoholic content." (Mich. Stat. Ann. § 750.28)

So if it is branded so that someone might think it contains alcohol, you can't sell it to the kids. After all, they may think they get drunk off of it!
