We are discussing in work a colleague who will be 18 in February, the work just gave alcohol to all Adult staff and so it was asked, could colleague A (who is 17) transport the alcohol he could have been given, home, to deliver to his parents?
A short google brings this interesting tidbit It is only illegal for persons under the age of 18 to consume alcohol in a public place according to the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 Source(s): Legislation.gov.uk
but you know how unreliable people on the web can be with the actual law.
