I think you have a skewed views of 'kids these days' if you think they're getting beer a soon as they can.

Data will tell you that alcohol consumption in Europe is down compared to my generation (millennial). They are also more engaged than previous generation, especially compared to the silent generation who basically let their elders kill popular education (I hear a lot of 'OK boomer', but let it be said that boomers fought to conserve our rights in my country, at least in their youth).

Anyway.
