HHmm.. Let’s say I open a chocolate shop.
I create a lot of chocolates, all with different tastes and ingredients, and then I sell them in my chocolate shop.
And in these chocolates, some are made with ingredients some people may not like at all, or even are allergic to. Some are even made with liquors and other alcohols, these chocolates that I keep in an alley of my shop forbidden to children.
Well guess what? My only duty here is to explicitly state which chocolate are made with which ingredients. Nothing more.
If you pick a chocolate with mint in it when you hate mint, then that’s on you. Because I explicitly stated there was mint in it.
If you pick a chocolate with peanuts in it when you’re allergic to peanuts, then that’s on you. Because I explicitly stated there were peanuts in it.
It means that in this situation, you cannot in any way hold me accountable for your allergic reaction, because you should have been the one to either read the signs or to not be left alone in my chocolate shop if you weren’t able to read them yourself.
And it’s the same with liquor chocolates. If you as a minor, or your unsupervised child, enter the alley you weren’t supposed to and end up swallowing alcohol, you don’t have a right to go complain to me.
You weren’t allowed to go there, and the best I can do is call your parents so they don’t leave you alone in a chocolate shop again.
“But children love chocolates! Chocolates are for children! You shouldn’t be making alcoholic chocolates in the first place!”
Stops right here, a lot of adults still love chocolates. A majority in fact, and there is no age to stop loving chocolate. And some love liquor too, which is perfectly normal, and I sell these chocolates to them.
You are allowed to not like a shop selling liquor chocolates, or any chocolates with an ingredient you can’t eat, but it won’t stop the fact that it’s perfectly legal for me to sell them here. And the best you can do is to start learning to ignore them, teaching your children to do so while keeping an eye them, or find another chocolate shop and hoping they don’t sell these chocolates as well.
That’s all.
