Alcohol test purchases in the Hohenlohe district: minors slightly served!

In the Hohenlohekreis, it has been really explosive in the past few weeks when test purchases were carried out by minors in several supermarkets in Öhringen and Pfedelbach. It was found that many dealers not only violate the youth protection law, but also hand in high-proof alcohol to young people-an absolute no-go! According to voice.de Markets of high -proof alcohol to minors. These test purchases took place on April 24th and were carried out by the health department in close cooperation with the youth welfare office.

Although the sale of alcohol such as schnapps, vodka and ouzo in people under the age of 18 in Germany is prohibited in Germany, the protection of minors did not seem to be very popular in some shops. During the controls, it was discovered that minors successfully acquired alcohol in six out of fourteen markets, although the sellers partially controlled the ID of the test buyers, but did not ask about age. Br.de shows that despite the strict controls, compliance with youth protection often falls by the wayside.

an urgent call to sensitization

The mayor of Regensburg therefore rightly expressed concerns about the ease with which young people can get alcohol. Such cases should all make us think and illustrate how important educational and prevention measures are. Many municipalities therefore rely on education in schools and in public to address the dangers of alcohol consumption and to create awareness.

Overall, it should be said that the test purchases carried out make it clear in the Hohenlohe district as well as in other cities that there is a need for action. Only through joint commitment - on the part of business, cities and parents - will it be possible to effectively strengthen the protection of minors and to protect the health of our young people.
