Re: vanilla extract
I made my own once with rum and vanilla beans. I left it on the counter and bit by bit it started to go missing. I think the contractor working on the bathroom was an alcoholic and was drinking it. No one did any baking but me and everyone in the house knew it was vanilla, and knew where the real booze was. I finally drew a line on the bottle with a sharpie and it stopped disappearing.

I would do the same but really, if that was strictly adhered as it should be, game sales would drop like mad.
Barmymoo:
The thing is that if you don't know that the person is buying it for a child, you aren't breaking the law (unless you should have known - that was what I was concerned about in this instance: if trading standards were in the queue, they'd have seen that it was very obvious that I should have realised it was for the kid, even if I hadn't). So if the man had been there on his own, I'd have had no idea it was for his son and sold it to him without problem. It's the same with alcohol. Parents are perfectly free to buy alcohol and give it to their children if they're over five, as long as it's in their own home. But if a child came up with a bottle of gin and said "mummy I want this" I wouldn't be allowed to sell it.
Actually written out like that, it makes no sense at all. We have weird laws.

re: people stealing alcohol
I did a play where we had a bottle of cheap-o vodka on hand for spraying all the trench coats and suit jackets that couldn't be washed after every performance. It started disappearing and we eventually found out that it was the arts center's janitor.
