oh boy can I go on about this one!
My 15 year old son is currently in an in patient treatment facility for addictions to OTC drugs (Dramamine, benadryl, corasedan, adderal, etc) he started out with a can of beer! Once you know about the small drug (or beer) they have already experimented with the next level. Get to your child NOW! Talk to them, do whatever you can before they got any further away from you! My son is lucky enough to have been intervened before he got to the meth and worse drugs.

What are the details here?
If it is a small 14 year old drinking beer on an empty stomach...the aftermath would be a wimpy high.
Or parents walking in after one beer....it could be the aftermath of grounded for a week or two.
If the 14 year old was on serious medication, the aftermath could be a hospital emergency room.
It all depends on the circumstances.
One beer as a beverage, as a curious experiment, might be an opening for a conversation on responsibility and open communications for future events.
Choose the battles carefully for when they really matter.

Bad breath?
Seriously, unless the child is quite small, a single beer will probably not have serious consequences. (If he is small, you may see classical signs of drinking, impared judgement, reduced coordination, etc.)
Of course, then there should be the long talk about why your 14 y/o is drinking at all...followed by possibly an extensive grounding, or stern beating...depending on your parenting style.
But don't worry too much about the beer itself, college students have been proving for decades now that you can drink gallons of beer, pass out weekly, and still graduate from college.

There are far too many factors to control for in this experiement. Best case scenario: he's doing so with the okay of his family, at a mealtime together, and there's never any problem. Worst case scenario, he's got a family history of alcoholism and he's with his friends and he has another beer, and another...and another

well first of all a 14 year old shouldn't be drinking... The legal Law is 21 unless your in Canada then its 18 but no 14 year old should be drinking.

How much does the 14 year old weigh?
You know children in Europe drink all the time so one can of beer can't be that bad.

Depends on how well they can take the alcohol. Maybe nothing, but maybe a slight buzz. And you will be able to tell that they were drinking.
