Pretty sure the under 18's would use such a perk far more sensibly than certain adults did at T5C.

Good idea, however, the number of under 18s who have lounge access when travelling alone would be very small in the grand scheme.
I would also make the assumption that many of these teenagers are not out to get drunk in the lounges. Some of the lounges in the network do not have alcohol open to grab usually from a bar such as in Admirals club.
I remember there was an incident when the actress Masey Williams was denied access in Los Angles when she was under 18.
I doubt that there are many young frequent flyers out there who have status or travel in premium cabins. I wonder how many under 18s have status with BA??
