Will Germany end legal, supervised drinking for teenagers under 16 in bars and restaurants?

A nation of booze drinkers! Children learn how to drink early?

The idea is not totally ridiculous! But does it have to be permitted by law and in public?

How to introduce one's child to alcohol consumption is certainly one important question for any parents so they will become responsible drinkers later in life.

"German health minister Karl Lauterbach and other leaders are calling for the end of “supervised drinking” for people under 16 in bars and restaurants. 
Teenagers in Germany between 14 and 16 can consume wine, beer, and wine-like drinks if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The country had the fifth highest alcohol consumption per capita in the world, per a 2016 study.  
The proportion of teenagers consuming alcohol in Germany is among the highest internationally. "
