The financial burden should be so great as to be extremely uncomfortable. If the average takings of an off-licence on a busy Friday or Saturday night are €2,000 and the fine imposed by the courts for selling alcohol to an under age person were set at €10,000, I presume the off-licence business would apply the necessary standards and ensure it is not duped by people. I expect off-licences would become extremely strict and ensure identity cards are valid and so forth.
