The wizarding world doesn't see a problem with selling alcohol to children.
That may be a European thing, too. Drinking ages are lower there, and I've heard that people are more willing to overlook a few years' difference, especially for wine or beer. Combine that with the even lower alcohol content of butterbeer, and it's not that surprising. Still, the WW does seem to take a more medieval approach to childhood/adolescence.
