    Everyone has seen someone else do it or heard about it being a problem but how many people have bought cigarettes or alcohol for underage kids?(under age meaning under the lawful age to purchase which ever product), and why??

    This has been asked many a time here before and the overwhealming answer is always no!

    Spectroscopic analysis of HD 209458 b, an extrasolar planet in the constellation Pegasus, provides the first evidence of atmospheric water vapour beyond the Solar System.

    When I was 18 I did it a whole bunch for friends and so on.
    Now? No.

    it may have been done before but with the problem never going away i think it'll always be a valid question. i posted cos i saw a guy in his early 20's today buy a pack of 20 JPB smokes for two boys of about 9 or 10.....totally disgusted me! i've never done it and never will, people that do should be prosecuted (if they are ever caught)!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,266 ✭✭✭Steyr


    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Nope. Never spent my time begging for drink outside an off-licence. You don't know how much they've already had, or how many other people they've convinced to buy them six cans.

    I don't buy anyone smokes when I go to the shop. It's bad enough have to sit in the same room while the ****ers smoke them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭cold_filter


    Nope, have never ever done it, usually get asked and i say your too young, or the best was when this kid asked me he was about 5 foot nothing, he said "here mster will you get me JP blue" i said dont you know smoking stunts your growth, he never asked me after that!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    Never begged anyone to get me drink when i was underage. I tried numerous tactics (smoking going into the offy to make you look older, getting decent fake ID's etc etc). Honestly, kids these days are just lazy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 39 kenzie


    I would for friends that are almost 18- I never had to do it yet though because they get served anyway! Would never buy it for anyone younger though. As someone else said you never know how many others they've asked to do the same thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭nervous_twitch


    For friends and people I know (who aren't total idiots), yes, for the general underage population; no - unless my substantial fee was entertained.

    No way. Anytime I'm asked I tell them to f**k off! Christ, kids begging for alcohol outside off-licenses and some people actually buy it for them. No wonder we've so many alcohol-related problems in this country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Not a chance, a clip on the ear for asking me! :)

    Only to underage girls, and then I'd take them home and make a porno

    Is this the answer you were looking for?

    surprisingly no it's not, but luckily for you being a smart arse isn't a terminal disease.......the liver failure the kids you buy drink for will get in the future from the alcohol you buy them is.

    No.

    When I was a poor student, I was regurlarly asked to buy stuff by the local kids when I called to the local shopping centre.

    For my time and trouble, I always got 1 can for every 6 I bought.
    Or one euro for every pack of cigarettes I bought.
    They were happy to pay and I was to happy to accept payment.

    Don't this anymore though it's been ages since anyone asked me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    If it was for my brother I would but that's just because he's a bit of a social recluse and I want to see him to go out and enjoy life.
    Anyone else would have to be a no.
