Yeah. Plus it was a bit easier back then to get away with buying alcohol under 18. If you were one of those 15-year-olds who looked freakishly older than your age you might’ve gotten away with it on a ‘good’ day but letting mature 16/17-year-olds through kind of always seemed like a fair compromise to me. I didn’t exactly have the most defined face when I was 16/17 (nor 18 to 20 at that) but I had a lot of facial hair (I grew a trimmed beard officially at 18-ish but had a moustache from at least 15) and generally I was pretty mature so I got away with it in milk-bars. I never had such loud teenage social inclination to try my luck at the club like I said so I very-much waited until I was of age on that front.
