A recent investigation by the French association Addictions France has revealed that nearly nine out of ten supermarkets in France are illegally selling alcohol to minors. The study, which involved undercover purchases conducted with minors accompanied by bailiffs, found that 86% of tested supermarkets violated laws prohibiting alcohol sales to underage individuals. This widespread non-compliance highlights a persistent public health concern, as minors continue to have easy access to alcoholic beverages despite legal restrictions. Addictions France has called for more frequent controls and the implementation of truly deterrent sanctions to address the issue. The findings underscore a perceived lack of enforcement and a sense of impunity among retailers, prompting calls for stronger regulatory measures to protect minors from alcohol exposure.
