The law around alcohol and age is complicated but generally you have to be 18 to purchase it from a licensed establishment (pub, supermarket, off-licence etc) except you can buy beer, cider and wine at 16 with a meal.

However, there’s no specific law preventing you giving alcohol, of any type, to your five year old at home. No one does, but the law really only cares about alcohol sales.

There is plenty of leeway inside public order offences to deal with drunken teens causing trouble that there doesn’t need to be specific ones for alcohol.

The cops only seem to have got involved because the family called them to deal with her and that’s probably a sign that she was, or the family was, well known to them.
