What does that have to do with this?

I do agree though and would go further and make it illegal to show ads to anyone whose profile states they are under 18.

You can't, as in any developed nation I can think of, advertise alcohol to children. Take a look at the actions the industry has taken when they even put alcohol ads too close to children, or too appealing to children, ctrl-f for moon dog. https://www.abac.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ABAC-Quar...

You cannot advertise alcohol to children in Australia
