   🙄 It's going to be like having to carry ID in Sainsburys because of challenge 25 again. Also no, don't use facial recognition tech to do this 🤦♀️

     Indeed, in the UK our culture tends to scream "think of the children" , while nudging and winking at the rite of passage of getting one over on authority. So we don't get a causal introduction to alcohol.

     Challenge 25 happened because kids who were over 18 would apparently go and buy booze for their underage mates.

     I once had to dump the bottle of wine I was getting with groceries and go and get my ID (at the age of 35). Because the older checkout operator didn't believe I was over the age of 18. Even then folks looked with incredulity. The younger checkout operators on the other hand knew I was old. 🤷♀️ Never had that issue in France funnily enough.

     @onepict OMG ... I'm Italian. As usual, my parents gave me my first touch of wine at the age of 6. I've learned that it's food, not a drug.

     Now I'm 45. Never got drunk, never felt the need for it, or too high for the situation.

     I enjoy alcohol when there is and when food "calls" for it (the right color and kind that matches best).

     Each of us needs more freedom, culture, knowledge and understanding not more cameras and jailing AI.
