That's lame...so what if they want to celebrate.
Imagine what the London Olympics will be like.
Here are their laws:
Children under 5 must not be given alcohol unless under medical supervision or in an emergency (Children and Young Persons Act 1933, Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937).[49][50] However, children aged 5 and over may legally consume alcohol in their own or someone else's home as long as they are under the supervision of an adult, but Social Services are intolerant of this occurring with children under the age of 14.
The minimum age for the purchase of alcohol is 18. People aged 16 or 17 may consume wine, beer or cider on licensed premises (pubs/bars/restaurants) with a table meal. In England & Wales, an adult must order.[51] In Scotland, no adult is required to be present.[52][53] The legal age for the purchase of alcohol from an off-licence (store/supermarket) is 18 (as of 2009 it is illegal to purchase liquor chocolates under the age of 18).
Purchasing alcohol on behalf of a minor is illegal in Scotland, England and Wales. This means acting as the young person's agent
