The laws don't add up.

It is legal to drink alcohol at home over the age of 5.
It is legal to drink alcohol in a restaurant over the age of 16.
It is illegal to buy alcohol under 18.
It is illegal to buy alcohol for someone else who is under 18.

Yes they do add up.

I make it 57.

I think the not buying alcohol for under 18s, means not taking their money and acting as their proxy. That's different from giving under 18s some of the alcohol you'd bought for your household.

It's the difference between buying a bottle of wine for the kids, and buying wine for the meal and letting the kids have a glass. Or pouring a beer for your under 18 kids and offering it to them, and having a type of beer in the cupboard that only your teenagers drink, that's their beer, and they are allowed to help themselves to without asking.

If you buy alcoholic drink for a party or an event, and kids are allowed a bit, then that's fine. If you buy it specifically to give to the kids then that isn't.

The whole buying for your kids is getting out of hand though. I do still serve people who have their kids with them as any parent wouldn't leave their kids at home while they did their shop and I understand that, but if they ask their kids what they want in front of me (and trust me it happens at least once every week) I will refuse as again its company policy.

What? Even if the child asks for a bar of chocolate? That's so stupid.

Yes in the UK it's Licence in the USA it's License. Trouble is American Spellcheckers. (Note: I am referring to the noun here not the verb)

Back to the issue, in the Portsmouth News there is a story about a wheelchair user see LINK

I think being refused alcohol while shopping with a minor is mad.

I'll often nip to the shop if we are about to have a BBQ or something to grab a bottle of vino, and if my nephews are there they always want to come and get a sweetie for after their tea. I always get ID'd and as i am 23 i don't mind in the slightest, but i if i was refused for having a 7 & 4 year old with me i'd be less than pleased.

I also work in a small corner shop so see it from the other perspective and have been advised by the police following a spate of underage attempts at buying alcohol that if they are asking someone over the age of 18 to come into the shop to buy on their behalf then they are the one's breaking the law not me. (which was a relief) If however their is a large group of them i would be responsible to ID everyone there and would have the right to refuse sale.

I think its a bit of a mine-field as kids are definitly becoming smarter on how to get the alcohol. Even inventing new tricks, i.e. picking up their parents house keys when they go out that have car keys attached and when you ask for id they put their keys on the counter and say "i'm obviously old enough if i can drive to the shop" then you watch them wander off down the street dissapointed :rotfl:
