Ingenious loophole allows teens to drink horrible homemade alcohol.

Kids have always been able to buy yeast and sugar though - I remember getting pretty wasted as a young teen on really nasty homemade wine.

I'm seeing a lot of spin about the Times paywall experiment. Generally the figures don't seem to have taken into account that the vast majority of the subscribers are taking advantage of some special one-off membership offers. So they are paying less than the calculations suggest, and they're likely to only be there for the duration of the special offer...

Still. I'm very surprised they got as many as they did.
