Most people see this being done and say or do nothing to stop it, as of now it is illegal to buy alcohol for anyone that is not 21 or older, but since most people do nothing to turn the people who do that in, nothing happens to them and they get away with buying alcohol for a minor, and if they do it once, who 's to say they will not do it again? Therefore the laws should become more strict when it comes to this. Also, if a teenager even asks for any adult to buy them alcohol, they should be given a ticket or some punishment of some sort to make sure they do not do it again. Asking for alcohol at a young age is very dangerous thing, drinking young can ensure health problems such as liver cancer, alcohol poison, etc.
