That’s because kids are legally allowed to drink at home after the age of 5. At 16 you can drink alcohol at a restaurant or pub with a meal so long as you’re with your parents. Only at 18, is there no restrictions to buying alcohol other than you’re not allowed to consume it in public.
It’s illegal for a 5 year old to drink alcohol at their home. That’s why I said after the age of 5 which is the law. Plus I was making a joke which seems to have gone right over your sweet little head.
I challenge you to highlight the bit that was a joke because there was no joke you just made a stupid comment.
The fact that you can technically drink alcohol at 5 is in no way contributing to kids underage drinking because no 5-year-old is drinking alcohol. Underage drinking happens because idiot adults are buying kids alcohol it’s got nothing to do with the drinking age laws. If they increase the drinking age to 21 like in the United States it would have literally no difference
You can consume in public, just not in alcohol free zones. The zones are generally city/town centres where there are usually places licensed to serve alcohol. Everywhere else you can drink as you please as long as you don’t get too drunk.

I don’t think any 5-year-old is having a beer though
