    This is due to a lot of children and teenagers being surrounded by their parents' age group getting hammered.
    They dont go down the pub either. At least I haven't
    noticed many sneaking in the pubs anymore and for example my eldest and friends have no interest in pubs.

    As a nation it seems we can’t handle the booze, for some it’s the excitement of doing the illicit / breaking taboos & for others it’s normal to drink 24/7.

    Most places near us stop allowing children at about 7.30 to 8

    Not so much due to the booze but more because it stops the chav scum sitting getting pissed all day and night while their kids generally do what they want and piss off other punters.

    The law is 18, I'm thinking 14/15 would be a reasonable age?
