I think a lot of kids drink booze underage .....I certainly did as did most of my friends....getting served in pubs at 15 or 16 was pretty easy in the seventies.
Personally I would show him the error of his ways but not labour the point too much...as he may switch off.  It is all part of growing up.

Tricky one. The seller deserves to prosecuted but you run the risk of of him facing retribution or alienation from his mates which might not seem important to you as a parent but matters when you're 15. Softly softly is the best bet here or he may pull away from you. don't ban him from drinking full stop but try to show the difference between use & abuse.
    Not easy with a 15 yr old i know.

Agreed that acceptance from mates is very important at that age. Fortunatly for him he is not aware of what my wife has discovered, and we will not tell him that we no who it was.

He might not know but his mates might put 2 & 2 together if anyone gets bubbled. Hope his mum takes this into account before going into battle as despite her well intentioned protective instincts he will cop the flak if she get's anyone else into trouble.
    As said, it's a tricky one. Best of luck.

personally... i wasnt that bothered about beer because my dad let me drink it when i was 5 (ya know just a few mouthfulls and i didnt really like the taste) but then when i was 17/18 i used to go out underage when i was 17 but tbh i didnt drink to get plastered or anything i just used to end up quite drunk at times, never threw up or anything because i wasnt stupid but now i hardly drink because i have to be at work for half 6 and i wake up at 4ish in the morning (to make myself think that im getting s nice lie in )
he might grow out of it and decide he doesnt like getting drunk because he's sick or whatever or he might just go out getting pointlessly drunk and not beable to see how he looks from everyone else' perspective

personaly i would be having a chat with the shopkeeper in a nice, but firm manner and advising him that he needs to be aware that there is underage drinking going on and that you are aware......

if the shopkeeper valued his licence....and doesn't want a call from the police or TS then he may very well heed your advice
