| Message | Thus opening the market for counterfieiting, selling drinks to underage persons, and other things that are checked under the licensing system. Don't say they would be checked, or such outlets would be closed, because that's licensing. |

| Message | I agree, the licencing system is in place to make sure that only responsible shopkeepers sell alcohol. If you let the shopkeeper sell to anyone they _will_ sell to underage drinkers because they will have no responsibility under the law to do otherwise, and can make a lot of money in doing so. |

| Message | So, what , it"s not responsibility of the state to take care of everybody incl. children. Parents must oversee them in first place. |

| Message | Parents cannot oversee every aspect of their child's life. How are they to know if their kid goes out breaking the law at a level like this? It will hide the problem from them. |
