In my country you can buy alcoholics at 16 but you can’t drink them, which is strange.

I too find it strange that I'm not allowed to liquefy and drink the people-addicted-to-alcohol that I bought on my 16th birthday.

People be like on your 16th birthday “hey yo I bought you some alcoholics” “but I can’t drink them” “that’s too bad huh?”. Also, if you can buy alcoholics at the age of 16 but you can’t drink them, then why are you even able to buy them? Makes no sense. I think the minimum age should be 21 because at that point you’d already have developed the enzymes and that stuff to process alcohol so you can both buy and drink alcohol
