Can movies depict minors drinking alcohol?
<p>Are you allowed to show in your film kids or teens drinking alcoholic drinks? Or is it against the law in the UK?</p>

<p>As far as I know it isn't illegal in the UK to have under 18s <strong>ACT</strong> drinking alcoholic drinks, ensuring you are giving them non-alcoholic drinks. For most acting, actors will drink a non-alcoholic substance that looks like beer, since we wouldn't want drunk actors. </p>

<p>On the 8/6/16 in a Soap known as Coronation Street a 16/17 (I can't remember which) year old boy had a hangover which you get from drinking too much. On the 6/6/16 he was handing beer (while near 2 adults) and at the end of the scene he takes a couple of bottles after being denied some beer to drink. There have been other instances in the soap where kids have been drinking or attempting to. <strong>So it's legal to have kids acting drunk or acting to drink so long as you give them non-alcoholic substances.</strong></p>
