The shopkeeper selling him the alcohol is at significant risk of serious fines 
- there are now "sting operations" testing shops with youngsters (in the pay 
of the Police) and prosecuting any infractions.

You won't be using any "second card", as eventually you'll use your "ID" card 
in the ATM - there will be law passed to only allow the "ID" card for all 
financial transactions - the credit and debit cards you presently have will 
be withdrawn.  This gives the "government" complete record of practically 
everything you do!  Another aim of the "ID" card project is the "cashless 
society"....
