As he clearly stated, and was quoted saying in the BBC article, he has no problem with the principle of ensuring alcohol sales are not made to children, he has a problem with the brainless, humourless way it was enforced.
It seems an assinine policy. The one you usually get around NY is expect to be carded if you look under 40. The penalties here are pretty strict on the server, not just the bar. Some bars (I know this is a supermarket) enforce this by carding at the door so the bar staff know everyone in there is over 21.

Seems to be a more sensible cut off than 60+ IMHO.
