Explanation:

English, like many other languages, has some features that could cause confusion.

One might say, for example, “The wine is too young to drink,” meaning that a person would not want to drink it.

One might also say “The boy is too young to drink,” not that people would not drink him, but that he would not be allowed to drink, that is, he should not drink alcoholic beverages.

Both sentences are grammatically correct. In the first sentence “drink” is transitive; in the second, it’s intransitive. If you understand what all the words mean you will not be confused.

This kind of ambiguity can occur generally in the use of verbs that are both transitive and intransitive. One might say “The book is too dull to read,” meaning that one would not want to read the book. Or one might say “The light is too dim to read,” not that anyone would want to read the light, but that the light is inadequate to read anything. The verb “read” is transitive in the first sentence, intransitive in the second.
