I was gonna say something strong, but I felt it unappropriate, uncalled for and not necessary.

Remind me again of the legal age to be allowed to drink at a private barbeque

Didn't realise it was private, which further supports my argument

But isn't it illegal to purchase alcohol for consumption by a person under the age of 18?

It's illegal for someone under 18 to buy alcohol, but not to drink it.

From the BBC website:

Kids over the age of five can drink at home, but aren't allowed to buy alcohol.
When you're 16, you can drink beer, cider or perry with a meal in a restaurant - but only if it's bought for you.

It's illegal for anyone under 18 to buy alcohol, and if you try, you could be fined £1000.

If police catch children with alcohol, they can confiscate it.

In more detail:

UNDER FIVES
It is illegal to give an alcoholic drink to a child under five except under medical supervision in an emergency.

It is thought the Children Act 1908 made provision for parents to give alcohol to a very young child, where it could be considered an anaesthetic in cases of acute injury.


UNDER 16s
Children under 16 can go anywhere in a pub as long as they are supervised by an adult, but cannot have any alcoholic drinks.

However some premises may be subject to licensing conditions preventing them from entering, for example pubs which have experienced problems with underage drinking.


16 TO 17-YEAR-OLDS
Young people aged 16 or 17 can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal if it is bought by an adult and they are accompanied by an adult.

It is illegal for this age group to drink spirits in pubs even with a meal.


UNDER 18s
It is illegal for people under 18 to buy alcohol in a pub, off-licence, shop or elsewhere.

And in most cases, it is against the law for anyone to buy alcohol for someone under 18 to drink in a pub or a public place.

It is legal for adults to buy alcohol for children over four to drink in the home.

Under the Confiscation of Alcohol (Young Persons) Act 1997, police have powers to confiscate alcohol from under 18s drinking in public places including streets and parks.

But, from the RELEASE website

It is illegal to sell alcohol to under 18 year-olds. Sales of alcohol must take place on licensed premises, such as pubs, bars, restaurants, off licences and supermarkets, during licensing hours.

It is illegal to buy alcohol for under 18 year-olds, except when buying beer or cider for 16 or 17 year-olds to drink with a meal in a restaurant. It is illegal to buy alcohol for someone who is already drunk.
Young people:
It is not illegal for children between the ages of 5 and 15 years to drink alcohol at home or in public, but they must not do so on licensed premises.

So, if you can't buy it, and you can't have it bought for you, how the f*** do you drink it if you're under 18?

 

[Jeff]

So, if you can't buy it, and you can't have it bought for you, how the f*** do you drink it if you're under 18?

If you're five or older you can drink it at home. If you're 16 or 17 you can drink it at a restaurant. It can be bought for you in these cases as you can't buy it yourself.

 

[Lako42]

ffs this is the squad sighting thread not the law confirmation thread.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Yes, but as most of our squad seem to act like 5 year olds, it probably isn't too far off topic!

 

[fitz]

Yes, but as most of our squad seem to act like 5 year olds, it probably isn't too far off topic!

as they drink legally at private bbqs?

if anyone actually feels strongly then the police should be called to give our entire squad a talk on drugs and alcohol as they're clearly a bunch of school kids who know feck all

 

[DesertFox]

And now the good news.... I am considerably over 18 and able to purchase and consume as much alcohol as I like. Hurrah!
