How much personal responsibility should we expect children to have? Genuine question. Because there was a time where some people believed that it was ok for kids to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.

This is what parents are for.

In that case, maybe we don’t need to card people anymore at the liquor store. If underage kids happen to buy, that’s the parents’ fault.

That's probably a good idea. That law never really did anything anyway, kids have never had problems getting their hands on alcohol

This is what the whole society is for, why singling out this aspect of behavior?

Education? Safety? Environment? Justice? Is this not also, then, what parents are for?
