Nothing wrong with asking for what one wants, but this kid's account didn't get flagged by accident, nor did AA implement the rule by accident. The adult-guardian rule obviously relates to liability, and we don't need AA's legal department to tell us the potential liability outweighs the value of the person's spending.
Even by the old "dragon" standards, I'm amazed multiple AC staffers have gone out of their way to keep this kid out of ACs systemwide. There might be more to the story here, even if booze wasn't involved.
