    An anecdote is not evidence. Do you have evidence?

    My anecdote is that I’ve never even heard of children buying moonshine once.

      I thought not about buying moonshine through specific channels but rather asking an older friend/acquaintance/family member to do it.

        Even that isn’t particularly popular amongst children. Youth drinking has dropped substantially over the years.

        I also don’t really get your point. We should stop under 18s/16s from drinking via asking their parents for some by… removing all restrictions altogether?

          No, my point was that the reasons are way deeper than “being allowed to buy alcohol on their own”.

            Reasons for what? What are you advocating here?

            You imposed yourself into a debate where someone said restrictions have zero effect other than creating black markets. I and others pointed out that’s untrue.

            Then you came along and now you seem to be arguing with me then now you’re agreeing with me but being really vague about it.
