Which has no relevance when drinking at home or on private premises.

I think you'll find Section 151 does. It was designed with that particular activity in mind. The words:

the alcohol is delivered at a place where the buyer or, as the case may be, person supplied lives or works

May assist in that regard.

Subsections (1), (2) and (4) do not apply where

Did you deliberately cut that bit or do you not read so good?

And the key word amongst all that jargon is KNOWINGLY. I say again, good luck proving in court that the checkout monkey knowingly sold booze to a parent who then gave it to their underage kid to drink outside the shop door.

It does no such thing. "Delivered" is the point here - it is to prevent an under 18 purchasing alcohol for delivery.

Well done at least from departing from Wikipeadia to acquire legal knowledge.

Where did I never said there wasn't an element of "knowingly" involved?

You were the one that said:

Think you're right that a complaint would be pointless however it is not their job to decide whether or not the alcohol might be passed to someone else.

Which is wholly wrong in law as per - and I repeat for the third time -because it's clearly not registered yet, Sections 149 and 151 of the Licensing Act 2003.<br /><br />-- 05 Jan 2014, 01:51 --<br /><br />

Err....no it's not. It's to prevent people over the age of 18 "delivering" alcohol to under 18's, if you read it again, except if it's their place of home (or work).

"It’s illegal to give alcohol to children under 5"

"It is not illegal:

For someone over 18 to buy a child over 16 beer, wine or cider if they are eating a table meal together in licensed premises.
For a child aged 5 to 16 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises."

My 19 year old lad said he'll just have a coke in future to save all this hassle at the game and later on blue moon.

Guess what? The law specifies it's illegal full stop.

Wiki knows everything and it's for medicinal purposes so wondered if they need a doctors note or is it fine because they are over five ?<br /><br />-- Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:55 am --<br /><br />

My five year old is annoyed that they are allowed a whiskey sour but not crack cocaine
