Wouldn’t it be, though, that your right to *drink* a beer as an exercise of your 1st Amendment rights is protected, but not necessarily your right to *buy* it? Since in order to buy something someone else has to sell it, right?

Although, again, we have other laws that dictate what age you have to be to buy a beer. So saying buying a beer is protected by the 1st Amendment would mean that anyone, regardless of age because the 1st Amendment applies to anyone in this country, should be able to buy one, which we know is not legal.

Not sure if the 1st Amendment protects merchants’ rights to sell, either. And also, what about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms? Do they trump the 1st Amendment?

brb, getting lost down a rabbit hole of semantics and legality…

Isn’t it though? I mean, the 21st amendment pretty much ensures you the right to buy a beer.
