Question 12366 — alcohols and alcoholic beverages

Summary

Ms. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the non-compliance with the ban on the sale of alcohol to minors by many establishments. Indeed, a damning report published by the Addictions France association on July 3, 2025 shows that the ban on the sale of alcohol to minors is very little respected by traders. In 3 metropolises (Rennes, Nantes and Angers) where test purchases were made for this report, nearly 9 out of 10 establishments (86%) sold alcohol to a minor; only 9% of establishments refused the sale of alcohol after asking for identification. In 2025, 75% of establishments already subject to legal proceedings for selling alcohol to minors have nevertheless repeated the offense. 91% of establishments that have not done subject of prosecution sold alcohol to minors. These figures are all the more alarming when we know that alcohol is, by far, the psychoactive substance most consumed by young people. Measures have been put in place to stem this situation. This is the case of the criminal fixed fine (April 2025), for which the sale of alcohol to minors is subject to a fine of 300 euros, or even the implementation implementation in 2019 of a “charter of responsible commitments relating to the sale of alcohol” driven by the interministerial mission to combat drugs and addictive behavior (MILDECA). But these systems have limits: the amount of the AFD appears too symbolic and its scope remains very limited. She therefore asks her what action levers she can create or activate to stop the sale of alcohol. to minors.
