Can you drink non-alcoholic beer while driving in Texas?

Is it illegal to drink a 0.0 beer while you’re driving in Texas? Obviously, it’s illegal to drink and drive, but if the beer doesn’t actually contain alcohol will I still get in trouble?

There is no law against drinking non-alcoholic beer while you’re driving in
Texas
! As long as you’re under the legal limit of 0.08% BAC and you aren’t actively drinking alcohol behind the wheel, you can’t get into trouble with the law.
However, you might still get pulled over if you drink non-alcoholic beer while you’re driving since the can or bottle will look very similar. A cop could see the container and assume that you are drinking and driving, so be prepared to explain yourself if this happens!
