They'll be able to vote but not sext each other or buy a pint in a pub. A bit of a muddle but probably not important.

Let's fix the buying a pint one next.

That's what the uk needs, more underage drinking . Although I guess that's one way to fudge the stats

Unironically, yes

I started drinking in pubs just before my 16th birthday. You had to behave yourself or the landlord would suddenly refuse to serve you. It was a far better training than the alternative, ie teen only parties with cheap cider.

Yep.
It's the norm across Europe that you can be served beer in pubs from 16. It works well. Theres no market for white lightning on the continent.

I've said before but if I were in charge I'd put in place policies to help the pub industry overall. People are going to drink either way - rather than doing it isolated at home better for many reasons that it should make  financial sense to do it in a community space.

From my understanding*, the problem with uk drinking culture is that it's a binge drinking culture. Would younger legal access help that?

*Although I do recognize that that understanding could be faulty.
