Yea, this is a problem, too. Know why liquor stores [generally] scrutinize IDs carefully when someone who looks young tries to buy alcohol? Because there are actually legal consequences to them for getting it wrong that governments love to enforce.

Yep, you are right. I actually used to own a liquor store. Shutting you down for a day or more while you pay for your employees to go to mandatory retraining hits the pocket book pretty hard. Of course you could (well, had to, really) also just pay into the local police 'benevolent society'. It was cheaper and kept you out of most trouble.
