What you saw and The Law are totally different thing. As other people stated above the legal age to purchase alcohol is 18.

In practice, sometimes parents just ask their kids to pop down the local shop to buy a pack of cigarette or couple of Beers with no problem. Sometimes the shopkeeper know them, and sometimes they just not bother and sell it anyway as they assume that the kids buying them for adults.
