Answer:
As long as they're with an adult
Explanation:
A 16 or 17-year-old, when accompanied by an adult, can drink beer, cider, or wine with their meal. But, UK alcohol laws do not allow you to 'buy' an alcoholic drink until you reach 18 years old. Note: The police can stop, fine, or arrest anyone under 18 years old if they get caught drinking in a public place.
