It _sounds_ like you're speaking in absolutes though, lacking nuance. If you are, my reply to absolutes would be that we should stop enforcing alcohol sales to minors, as it's the parent's job to ensure kids their don't drink.

Personally i think age verification is good. This implementation is moronic, though. And all around it's very, very difficult. So difficult that it may never be useful.

We absolutely should. Thankfully it is already not enforced in a lot of places (such as in greece).
