The point about prohibition has nothing to do with minors. It is about the Government trying to control & failing. Just as in the case of laws against showing minors pornography the laws forbidding alcohol to minors are to allow punishment of the involved adult(s) not believing that the law stops kids getting access to alcohol.. Look at the lack of success if that is the aim.
Prevalence of Underage Alcohol Use, People Ages 12 to 20. According to the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 13.2 million people ages 12 to 20 (34.2% in this age group) reported that they have had at least one drink in their lives. In 2022, 5.9 million youth ages 12 to 20 reported drinking alcohol beyond “just a few sips” in the past month.
According to the 2022 NSDUH, 646,000 people ages 12 to 20 (1.7% in this age group) reported heavy alcohol use in the past month

You need to stop emoting & stop believing that you (GVT) can control the world. The place of GVT should be limited as much as possible. GVT is not a virtue signaling banner to wield. Liberals use it that way and have brought America to the edge of collapse. Those who would be in Government need to be logical, restrained and free of corruption...they are not.

This concept needs to be nipped in the bud and shot down immediately before it can gain momentum and spread to all other states and every community website on the internet just like the FR. The concept will destroy it all. There will be nothing left but Amazon and Walmart ads.
