Naturally, but if you don't want to leave the judgement of maturity up to the seller case by case (which in most cases is almost the same as no limit at all) the government must set a limit at some age ...

The way I see it they were supplying minors who were not their own kids, which should not be allowed. But to take a less extreme example. You give a case of beer to your 17-year old son, who then gives one to his buddy. Is this then "parents supplying alcohol to minors who are not their children"?
