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

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.

It went over my head too.

I challenge you to highlight the bit that was a joke because there was no joke you just made a stupid comment.

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.
