When I submit my form, it refreshes, overriding my preventdefault() method. I can’t fix it

I initially had it working, but when I added the dark mode toggle, it began to read the dark mode toggle as a submit event, and would change the colour of the beer bottle and display the enter/Don’t come in message as if the user were submitting the Check if you’re allowed in button.

So I changed my event handler to only do on submit for the specific input that checks if you’re allowed, I gave it the id checkAllowed. Now when I try to hit that submit input, the whole page refreshes.

This will probably be the last code I write as I have grown to despise the field of programming within 3 short weeks. I am going to setup a meeting with my counsellor & in the meantime, I will drink heavily to resist the urge to disassemble my laptop into it’s component atoms via sheer rage.
