You ask how this 'reasonable restriction for alcohol is working?

Not as well as it could , but the 'leakiness' of the regulations - beer sold in grocery stores, etc - helps ease kids into the consumption of alcohol in a society in which such consumption is relatively central to much of non-family social life.

It would be better if more parents introduced wine at dinner moderately; if only because the object of drinking in isolation becomes to become drunk.

From my limited anecdotal knowledge of the current situation, it appears to me that hard liquor is properly quite difficult for most kids to obtain, although beer is just difficult enough to be thrilling. ;^)

I'm sure you desire the best for today's kids, but that has to include those rights to personal liberty that have been gradually anathematized by the modern smothering nanny state.

It's socialism, whether created by commissars or lawyers, and I intend to resist it by all means necessary, including and especially urging young people to defy wrongful authority.
