I don't understand what you mean with "not native"? Could you explain?

What about these sentences?

"He is one year away from reaching the age he can drink beer at."
"He is one year away from reaching the age at which he can drink beer"

Thanks!

"Not native" means that it is not the way a native speaker would say or write that sentence.
It sounds odd or awkward to us.

He will be able to drink beer legally in one year.

If a baby can drink water, he can drink beer, but he cannot legally go to a bar and get a beer legally.
