What does you being German have anything to do with it? Completely ignoring that no, being able to legally advertise it as 0% doesn't mean it has 0%, in Germany non-alcoholic beer is still beer and doesn't get advertised to children. That would be fucking insane to do.

    You're confusing „ohne Alkohol“/0.0% beer with „alkoholfrei“/“non-alcoholic” beer.

    In Germany, drinks only have to be labeled as alcoholic from 1.2% upwards, so

    • unlabeled fruit juice may have up to 1.2% (has more likely 0.3% or so)
    • alkoholfrei may have up to 0.5%
    • 0,0 may have 0,0% (rounded down from up to 0,04999...%)

    Except the US concept of underage also includes people 16 to 20, which this ad is undoubtedly target towards. If it was an ad for beer with bright colours and cartoon characters I would agree, but it is not.
