In Poland alcohol isn't sold for children under 18, if you're near 18 you're supposed to show your identity card. However, it isn't strictly monitored and I'm used to see many teenagers drinking beer aside. Some salesmen or smuggling older pals will always be found.
My professor told us this story about when he used to be a cop. He was out on duty just roaming around neighborhoods near a university because it was a big party night, and he found a man and two women stumbling around. He pulled up, questioned them (because of the stumbling, thinking they were drunk) and started to put them under arrest. The man kept saying he couldn't give him his ID, so he put him in handcuffs right away. The women started yelling at him but he didn't listen. As he was about to leave with them the women yelled "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO A BLIND MAN!" He let all three of them go and left as fast as he could.
this thread reminded me of when i was 16 and my friend was getting into E but the local dealer refused to sell to him because he looked to young so he'd buy it off the deep web and get it mailed to his next door neighbor's house
under 21's should just come to Canada and drink at 18 :p or Europe and drink at 16! (younger is some other places I am sure)
Personally the under 18 year old I have an issue with because they SHOULD still be in school and trying to get an education they really don't need to be drinking unsupervised. When/if I have kids they can moderately drink with me around and I am okay with that.
