Inspections conducted by the Danish Safety Technology Authority between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2026, revealed high rates of underage alcohol sales. Out of 1,389 alcohol-related inspections, 483 resulted in violations where minors successfully purchased alcohol. 

Following these findings, a legislative proposal has been introduced to extend the trial period, which uses controlled buyers aged 15 to 17, until the summer of 2028.
