    Was just in Dealz when I noticed these chocolate liqueurs.
    I was amazed when ti said you have to be over 16 to buy them?

    Is there specific legislation in this country that says peoples can't drink alcohol until they're 18 but ti's ok to eat alcoholics sweets at 16?

    The law states
    Sale of liqueur chocolates. (1) Nothing in this Act (other than this section) or in any enactment requiring an excise licence for the sale or supply of intoxicating liquor shall have effect in relation to intoxicating liquor that is in confectionery if the confectionery-- (a) does not contain intoxicating liquor in a proportion greater than 200 millilitres of alcohol (of a strength not exceeding 57 per cent) per kilogram of the confectionery, and (b) either consists of separate pieces each of which weighs not more than 50 grammes or is designed to be broken into such pieces for the purposes of consumption. (2) Intoxicating liquor in confectionery shall not be sold to a person who is under the age of sixteen years.
