I can answer for the UK only.

Previously, anyone in the home was allowed to consume alcohol under parental supervision as long as it wasn't considered to be ridiculous amounts and/or putting the person in danger.

However, more recently, the Government has declared that the acceptable age for anyone to drink in the home, even under the supervision of the parent/guardian(s) is 15 years or over.

Is 16 allowed smoke home?

(ANSWER FROM THE UK) If by that you mean "Is a 16 year old allowed to smoke in their home" then it is up to the parents. The law states that you have to be 18 or over to PURCHASE cigarettes, not smoke them. Here in Nebraska it is illegal to own cigarettes when you are under the age of 18, it is similarly illegal in most states due to pressure from the United States government. Minor in possession If you smoked at home and your parents allowed it, they would be contributing to the delinquency of a minor and could be punished. However, the police would not be able to spy on you or anything like that, so you would never get in trouble unless they enter the home under probable cause and catch you.

You have to be older than 5. It is an offence for a child younger than that to consume alcohol in their own home. Older than that, then it is up to parental discretion, there are of course laws against giving the child too much.
