She can drink but not buy alcohol. What kind of daft message is that sending?
Quite, and I agree with you. I listened to a Mum at the school gate say she had dropped her teenager off at a sleepover with 2 litres of cider and then whinge about what a nightmare she was. I blame the parents really I do.
When that law was passed* it may have been fashionable for parliament to emulate the Continent’s smooth and sophisticated ways and teach some tolerance of alcohol to our youth. That one has worked really well. Keep on bingeing Britain.
*Complete rhetorical theory on my part of which I accept full responsibility. But broadly speaking, this is the law: “16 year olds can drink beer or cider with a meal in a pub or hotel (but can't be the person buying it)”
Fill your spittoons with that one.
