Afternoon.
Quick question. I have worked for over 11 year in a pub and have always served over 16 year olds a shandy as the Licencing act of 2003 states .......Under 18? Adults are not allowed to buy alcohol on behalf of under 18's in a licensed premises. In the new licensing laws, the only exception is for 16 or 17 year olds who are allowed to drink beer, wine or cider at a meal out with adults (but they may not buy the alcohol themselves).. At the weekend we attended a wedding. On the night we where sat with my 16 year old son eating our buffet food when one of the security lot came over and snatched my sons shandy away stating he wasn't old enough. I never caused a scene as I didnt want to spoil the evening. Am I right or does each venue have their own rules.

strange, did he just assume that he wasn't eighteen? ... would have been even more embarassing had he been the groom

Security had obviously reported that he was underage and had a shandy so they just waited till he had a drink that looked alcohol then swooped lol
