Untitled Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Everyone has had a drink underage! Hypocrites! But not everyone posts evidence. i take quite an offence to thati didnt start drinking till i was 21, and even now its in total moderationdidnt see the point in drinking when i was 16/17 since all i heard was stories of people getting wasted and becoming annoying and agressive.if anything that was a deterant and it still is to me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 but is it not the case in scotland that all the licence are the same. that you can have over 14s in. i try argue that it must have changed by now to my dad but he is certain that it scotland tis still the same liecning act from like 79 or something. cant remeber the datejesus, have you been drinking? that post is so hard to read. i'm not normally one to point out people's typo's but that whole post is a typo. isn't it ultimately upto the manager of the premise's discretion whether he lets underage persons into the premises if his licence permits it? so even if you have a licence allowing them he can ban them anyway(and quite reasonably). don't you need an entertainment licence or food licence to allow over 14's in?

Guest tv tanned Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 don't you need an entertainment licence or food licence to allow over 14's in?Speaking of typos Dave, that would probably make sense if it read 'under 18s' rather than 'over 14s' since technically you and I are over 14, and ain't no lack of food and entertainment licence stopping us!!!

Chris Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 if I remember my scotvec modern studies (young people and the law) correctly, which I probably don't, over 14s (while still being under 18) are not allowed to being the vicinity of the bar. so they can sit in a lounge/restaurant area and consume alcohol (beer, wine, cider) with food or just have soft drinks. However I don't believe this includes nightclubs, and unless the club gets it set in the terms of it's licence then no-one under 18 is allowed in.That's just if I remember correctly.

framheim Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 they have to be 16 before they can order beer, cider or wine with food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 ...are people who are blatantly underage posting long stories of their drunken escapades in some of Aberdeen's pubs and clubs' date=' and then posting gallery pictures as documentary evidence, complete with comments like 'Is that you in the bassment?' 'lol, yeh i was wasted'?!?!Is it just me, or does that seem like a rather silly thing to be doing?[/quote']I'll definately agree with you on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 ah but, i've found that because i was a lairy drunk as a kid(taken home by the police at age 13 etc) i've mellowed a lot as an older drinker. to an extent anyway. either way getting so drunk that i spew everywhere has no appeal to me anymore as i've done it all before i was 18.

I've gone from about 15 to 45 and I'm a lot better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 What pisses me off is you and your mates getting ID'ed (all 19+) yet 15 year old girls getting in with no hassle. Is there something I'm missing, you can be 15 to get in as a girl but even an over 18 guy still must be ID'ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 It seems to work on the general (and fairly accurate) principle, that most groups of girls can go out for a night and enjoy themselves without men, but if a group of guys go into a club, they want drunk jail-bait to ogle.Therefore the majority of clubs are packed with young girls to attract male punters.

Flash@TMB Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 He ID's me every time i go to the moorings' date=' even tho i go there fairly often and he knows im 18. i probably said something stupid to him when i was drunk and he took offence. oh well.[/quote']No he's just strange.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I only drank at parties before I was old enough to go out into town, save a couple of occaisions. I guess I just thought it was sad to pretend to be older than I really was. If anything, I wanted to be younger at that age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Underagers seem to also get away when hiding in a group where most are actually over the legal age. How can bouncers not spot this.I still know of people getting into the Bassment recently underage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosaur Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Kids. glad I aint one...oh wait I am. But I have NEVER consumed an alchoholic drink in a public place and dont intend to while underage. I am a good boy generally I think its pretty silly especially when ppl's jobs are at risk.

Taylor_dB Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 The thing that really annoys me is when an underager gets ID'd and then they get pissed off about it. I have a mate that used to get really angry about it and I always thought "Well, you're not 18, so what right do you have to get in there? Go grow up." She hasn't really grown up, but she's over 18 now, so those escapades are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 You can always tell the underagers by how indignant they get at being ID'd. In bars children try to behave like adults, thinking they are being so sophisticated... and the adults just want to behave like children, which is why children aren't allowed in bars.
