Enforcing the alcohol pucrhase age

An interesting article on how eight liquot outlets who sold alcohol to a 17 year old girl will not be suspended as she was too good an actress.

I think it was a decent call, as using someone just three months under limit, is making it very very hard. I've noticed out clubbing that 14 year olds can pass for 25 when they want to. It would have been a better idea for the authorities to use someone who was say 15 or 16 and looked it.

In theory the guidelines are to ask for ID from anyone who looks under 25, and they still should have done it, but a suspension would be a bit too hefty so nice to see some common sense.
