Underage drinking
I had an interesting conversation with a lady friend of mine earlier this week. She was complaining about the customers in the shop she worked at, and it was really interesting to me, as I have voiced concerns about this subject to a lot of people.
My friend was saying that she works in a shop which sells alcohol, and was telling me about the rules for selling alcohol to teens. I know for a fact that she (and other Staff) sell alcohol to teens - probably unknowingly.
Despite the rule? law? which states that if you're 21 you must prove that you're over 18, teens are sometimes-but rarely-still served. It's easy to sell cigs/alcohol to underage people - they all look older than they are! You would be shocked to see how many people come into a shop and buy alcohol for youngsters! What should we do about it? Is there an answer? There must be.....but what on earth is it????????
