Malia Obama amused the internet after a photo of the 20-year-old guzzling what appeared to be a £15 bottle of Rosé went viral online.

Writer Zoé Valdés tweeted the cheeky photo online, writing: “Underage Malia Obama, 20, spotted sipping one a $20 bottle of Rosé.”

In America, the minimum legal age to purchase alcohol in America is 21, while the drinking age ranges from 18 to 21 depending on the state.

The tweet got lots of hits, but people weren’t all that shocked by Malia’s drinking…

In fact, they found it highly amusing.

Lol.

Seriously, it was like a Pink song...
