  I, too, love the idea of kids getting sketchy ass vapes from weird ass dealers in alleyways. Nothing but benefits tbh

    Disposable vapes are already sketchy…

    And what kind of logic is this? Should children be able to buy alcohol on the basis that if they don’t get served in pubs/shops they could theoretically instead be sold moonshine in an alleyway?

      Yes. That’s how we do it in Germany, because we know they would otherwise just steal alcohol from stores or get an adult to buy it for them, like is the case in the US

        No, it’s not how you do it in Germany.

        Germany has restrictions on kids buying alcohol too:

        Beer, wine, wine-like beverages or sparkling wine or mixtures of beer, wine, wine-like beverages or sparkling wine and soft drinks, must not be sold to Children and Adolescents below the age of 16 years,

        other alcoholic drinks or food items that contain other alcoholic drinks in more than insignificant quantities must not be sold to Children and Adolescents,

        nor must their consumption by said persons be tolerated.

        - Jugendschutzgesetz (Protection of Young Persons Act)

        Where is this massive black market for moonshine?
