How to stop teenage drinking

by thebeebs 21. February 2008 01:24

Seems like the government and supermarkets can't sort out the problem of selling alcohol to young children. Apparently reducing the price of alcohol doesn't effect the amount that's consumed, the price apparently is inelastic.

I have a two-prong strategy to solve the problem.

1. When kids want to buy alcohol the cashier should have to check there profile on myspace and check their age. If they're not on myspace or bebo they probably aren't cool enough to be buying alcohol in the first place.

2. White lightning and all other bottled ciders and extra strength larger's should have government warning stickers like cigarettes do , however, they should ensure they relate to youngsters. So instead of: "Smoking Seriously damages the health of you and those around you" it should read "My mums a rat!" and instead of "Smoking damages your unborn children" it should read "If you drink this your a massive gaylord"

Implement these two policy's and underage drinking will be abolished.

Hey this is a great post. Could you keep me updated with any other info similar to this? If travelling to the UK why not stay at Stratford hotel and watch a Shakespear play
