Alcohol related violence
All these incidents really do frustrate me. What is going on with the youth of today? One thing that can be done to try and reduce these crimes is to increase the legal drinking age and really crack down on it.

I think the legal drinking age should be increased. Recently there have been far too many violent incidents amongst 18-20 year old which have been either alcohol induced or drug induced.

| 19-3-2008 | what's needed is a culture change, we need to try to become more like the europeans, more like the greeks and spanish, who see alcohol as just a small part of an evening out, not the only reason for going out | laughing gravy |
| 10-3-2008 | Increasing the legal drinking age would, as most people have already said, just make the problem worse. Our boys were always allowed to have a drink at home from quite a young age as they do in most of Europe. When they were old enough to go down the pub they didn't see it as a big deal. Is it c...more | Grumpyoldwoman |
| 23-1-2008 | Lil Cute Fillipino - Although your messages responding to other posts are lovely, they are also naive. Hovever optimistic you can be, you can not smile your way out of a bad situation. Unless our government pulls itself together, this country will continue in a downhill spiral. Unfortunately thats j...more | Jo |
| 23-1-2008 | Increasing the drinking age isnt going to help, its just going to make the countries stats look worse. The only way the government can start to combat violence due to underage drinking in the UK is by increasing the age you have to look to buy alcohol. At the moment you have to look under 21 to be a...more | Jo |

| 21-1-2008 | I think pubs should be rebuild and make into sometime better such as shops,hair salons,pet shops etc. And alcohol should be forever banned and violence should also stop because you should learn to forgive and not use violence.And there is a special book from new york, which was written by steve mcdo...more | Lil Cute Filipino |
| 03-1-2008 | im going to repeat what every one of these people has said here, raising the age will not reduce the problem we have but increase it by far! can you imagine the damage that a 20 year old can cause compared to say a 16 year old, we ahve complaints about kids hanging around on street corners people be...more | anthony |
| 28-12-2007 | Raising the age won't stop any of the trouble going on now!!!
I'm nearly 18 and if the age was raised I don't know what I'd do.. what do you expect 20 yr olds to be doing.. they're old enough to think for themselves and just because a minority of people can't handle their dr...more | Shan |
| 16-12-2007 | I think the drinking age should be 18 years old. I think this because instead of having 16 and 17 year olds on the streets causing trouble, there will be 16 - 20 years olds which will make violence far worse. Also youngsters will drink at any age so putting the age limit up will not deceased youngst...more | ??? |
