Underage at 18?

23 03 2008

The chairman of the Victorian Drug and Alcohol Prevention Council, Professor Jon Currie will be proposing the lifting in legal age to the Brumby Government over the next few months in seeking ways to reduce the incidence of alcohol abuse by young Australians.

I seriously don’t think that raising the legal drinking age will help stop young people abusing alcohol at all, if anything it’ll just increase the number of underage drinking to astronomical heights. Underage drinkers have always and will always find a way to get their hands on alcohol and have always and will always drink it to excess no matter if they are underage at 16 or 20.

So I’m glad that Professor Jon Currie sees this as a last resort and that the proposal is still in its infancy.
