a. There is a ban on selling alcoholic beverages to any minors.
b. There is a ban on selling alcoholic beverages to all minors.
Which is grammatically correct?
To me (b) seems to be saying that you can sell them to some of them but not all of them.
Many thanks
all vs any

Re: all vs any
Both grammatical, but 'any' and 'all' are quite redundant here (not to say, strange).
