Underage Drinking.

[cris]

lol .... its a massive thing with all teenagers 13 and up, you can't really stop it they just have to make the choices themselves. Id be more worried about pot than alchohol.

Why be more worried about pot? alcohol is far more dangerous(increased violence, road kill etc.) and can actually be very addictive. Say no to all drugs, including alcohol(although i have noticed that saying "no" to a bottle of bourbon doesnt stop you from getting drunk when you drink it).

At least if you smoke weed you get all peaceful and just sit down on the couch instead of going out causing ****e.

A case of wild turkeys is like $120 now isnt it??

look the whole up pricing of alchohol is crap, im only 16 but i know when to stop drinking, also it will just encourage kids my age to buy straight bottles n get completely messed up, or even worse is the drugs, you can get like gram of weed for $15 and ecstasy pill for bout $30, so what will kids go for the cheaper option? of course they will, so in my opinion stupidest thing government could have done

exactly and it will just create a market for stolen alcohol similar to cigarettes being sold by kids at schools ie: steal a carton from somewhere then sell them for up to a dollar a cigarette to ther kids.there is enterprising kids like that out there that will exploit this.

Exactly 50% of people that have voted in this poll say 'yes' to underage drinking.
So where do you propose the new line to be then ? 14yrs old ?
And you can vote at 13 , get a drivers licence at 15 , start paying tax at 14, start smoking at 11,
and get a reptile licence at 10. Sign up for the dole & AA while you're in year 9 ???
It's ridiculous.

Hey im 16 and i have had drinks before i agree that its stupid how 13 and 14 drink out of control but i think if you drink in moderation and control yourself which i do that not that bad

yeah it can also dramatically vary between stores. like for instance one safeway in my area was selling bottles of gentleman jack for $80 and another safeway store less than 3km away was selling them for $56. its odd how they can get away with these type of things.

Underage drinking is a rite of passage. Everyone has to do it atleast once.

I am probably the oldest person to post on this thread, but here goes. I didn't drink until i was 17. I spent 15years in the navy and in that time got drunk in some pretty exotic places. Did some pretty stupid things along the way. Now i hardly drink at all. Now i will show my age. I have a 16yo son. Do i tell him not to drink at all? Do i tell him to be careful if he does decide to have a couple? I'll just let him make his own decision. I will be there no matter what decision he makes. There is nothing worse than a hypocrite
