Weird World: Teenagers using face masks to buy alcohol

Teenagers are using face masks so they can pretend to be elderly and buy alcohol.

The trend is growing on social media app TikTok with users donning cardigans and powdering their hair white to pass off as old people.

A video with over 2 million views shows a girl in a grey wig and Halloween costume mask before tearing off the disguise as she gets the booze.
