[Star Trek] Are children allowed to drink Syntheholic beverages?

I don't think we know enough to say. It's known that synthehol is deactivated by an enzyme possessed by most people, but we also see that 7 of 9 doesn't, and can get drunk on it.

It would probably depend on whether children produce enough of this enzyme to deactivate the alcohol.

Or maybe the Federation is just more like Europe... Children are allowed in 10 Forward when accompanied by an adult (see "Imaginary Friend"... but Guinan only served the child fruit juice, arguing against that).
