Some children buy these drinks... would their parents necessarily know that they are?

LOL! Thats the wider picture, dont think many parents know or care where their kids are or what they do - nevermind buy, think we all at sometime have come home with something [legally] & its not gone down well in good old days we would of got a huge tellin off, sanctions and maybe a clout round ear & be enough to know not to do it again, but now could mean parents coming down to the shop to do the above to the retailer
I agree there is a lot more kids coming in un-attended quite young these days. Tho as a tiller/retailer u do have a right to refuse should u have any concerns as long as reasonable.
If u put an age restriction then the appeal to the underaged will be hightened & with the ever huge task of having to decipher age & the need to see id, then i think everyone will have to carry id cards from the moment they are born in order to purchase or on behalf off youngsters, making each transaction longer as the queues, we have a miffness with some customers with the current regulations. U wont be able to send yr kid to shop to buy a loaf of bread or milk without id soon lol.
