There are LOTS of laws they haven't ever been able to enforce in your lifetime. You seem to be stuck on this one individual law, and are ignoring the parameters you yourself have set for your part in the conversation.
Bicycles, golf carts, and cars rolling through intersections at stop signs? Speeding? Shoplifting? Mass shooting? Wife-beating? All of these things are "laws that they haven't ever been able to enforce in your lifetime." But you don't seem to feel that THEY aren't a waste of money. Why not? Why is this one law - selling booze to minors - a waste, when the inability to enforce other laws are also not a waste?

Maybe the druggies need to take little responsibility? But just like smokers they rarely can stop even in their death bed.
