- RobotToaster 9mo agoThe comment I replied to specifically said "ban children from drinking", not purchase alcohol. For instance here in the UK it's legal for any child over 5 to drink in private.
- jeltz 9mo agoYeah, but that pedantry did not add much. Yes, we do not ban children from drinking but there are still limits on their ability to buy and consume. A responsible adult needs to be present when children consume alcohol in many countries.
- philipwhiuk 9mo ago> A responsible adult needs to be present when children consume alcohol in many countries. Present? Or just buy it originally. There are no laws similar to gun safes requiring alcohol safes.
- inglor_cz 9mo agoDrinking != Buying. It is usually legal for parents to give under-18s a sip of an alcoholic beverage. It is not legal for under-18s to buy any such beverage in a shop.
- trelane 9mo agoMy son had no problem getting a beer with his meal at 15 in Munich. We were there, though, so it was supervised. It was also Radlers, so half beer, half soda.
