You can't even buy alcohol-free beer which all claim to be less than
0.1% on the label, despite (IIRC) it being legal for people of all ages
to buy shandy type drinks with up to 0.5% alcohol.

****wit computer programmers "gold plating" the ****witted alcohol
laws, probably.

More likely Government threatening behaviour towards stores - hence the
"check 25" policy where staff are supposed to check anyone not obviously
well over the legal age - and, if you have kids with you, assume you may
give booze to them.
