If it is a legal product that they are legally allowed to purchase it is the PARENTS responsibility to see that their children do not do it/them, not the store clerks.

Ok, I don't want my 16 year old to have access to alcohol. Under your law, I would have to follow him around all day to make sure he does not purchase it. It would be similar to me trying to prevent my minor child from buying a snickers bar. If he wants a snickers bar, he will get it.

Alcohol isnt legal to purchase at 16 and it never will be in this country, so you don't have to worry.

But say that you didn't want your minor child eating Snicker Bars, whose responsibility is it to prevent him from doing such?

Yep. Sorry, but the state is not here to do your parenting for you.
