Why would it be hard to believe a 15 year old in Ireland was drinking boozy coffee?

Is she in Ireland*?
From my understanding , She's in the US
I believe Ireland is one of those countries, if you can belly up to the bar, they will serve you Drinks, So it's not hard to believe at that rate.

@Dashrender yeah, hence why she was shocked that she was having a "drink" every morning.
She thinks because she drinks "Irish Coffee" that it is the Irish Coffee with Alcohol?
That's comical!I'm sure that it is. Irish coffee means with alcohol. Not Bailey's flavoured coffee.
Sure, that's what it generally means in a restaurant, etc... but it's also just as likely that they have irish coffee flavored k-cups - which I'm sure don't have alcohol in them.
If she is making it at home, it would only be Irish coffee if she had a bottle of Bailey's (or generic.) But I assume she gets it at a restaurant as that's what most Europeans do. Coffee in a shop is so cheap there.

I find it hard to believe that a 15 year old is drinking Irish Coffee.
Why? In half the world if an 15 year old walks up to a bar and asks for Irish coffee, she'll get alcohol. She's way over the drinking age locally. No reason for them to question it or think twice about it. And if the alcohol isn't strong enough, she's never notice. And her parents certainly don't care, her father is a distiller and is probably excited that she likes something alcoholic. And the neighbours wouldn't notice, she drinks far less than the normal 15 year old in her village.

@scottalanmiller so where is she located?

Oh - I made an assumption that who you were talking to was in person, and since you are in the US right now, you were talking to a resident of the US. But even that could be wrong and you could be talkign to someone in person, but was from the EU, so drinking might be totally legal for them, at home.

She's in Romania, which is so much more alcohol friendly than Ireland. I've seen three year olds drinking wine at farmer's houses and no one even thinks twice about it. She can walk to two bars and order shots anytime she wants in her village. Getting Bailey's in coffee without knowing what it is would be so easy.

And there is where the confusion started

Totally legal for her to drink at home in the US. It's getting it at a cafe / bar that's common to Europe, but not the US. Remember this isn't a shot, so would qualify like wine or beer and be legal most anywhere over the pond. She can order shots in Romania, you can do anything there. But even in France or Spain should could get Irish coffee without someone even taking notice.

Apparently - It is legal for a Parent or Spouse over 21 to order a drink for a minor under 21 at a restaurant , The restaurant's policy will not allow it. as long as Parent or Spouse over 21 is physically present while they are drinking.

Most of the issues with Alcohol consumption from minors is within Policies of Establishments.
The only law is - Parents can allow them to drink within their presence.
Outside of that, Under the age of 21 (with out parent or spouse over 21) can not drink.Which is not what was preached to me throughout all my (not so many) years of growing up.

In the US it is by state. There is no federal law around it. Every state is different.
NY is super loose. As is Texas.
