There was this article in MIT's Technology Review a couple weeks back

From what I've seen on the few alcohol sites I've visited it goes a step
further - they display a "If you're under 18 leave now". I don't know if
that's voluntary or legally enforced though.
And if you get across to the US remember it's 21, not 18.
