If people want alcohol underage, they can obtain it. Standing outside corner shops paying adults to buy alcohol for them is extremely effective, and given the culture, I don't think it would change significantly given a raise in the drinking age to 21. On top of that, I'm 18 years old, and I drink responsibly. Most drinking sessions include just 2-3 pints of rough scrumpy, which might well be considered a "binge", but I act responsibly after this amount of alcohol consumption. I work hard every day of the week, and a couple of times a week, I want a swift pint in the evening over a bit of banter and then to bed. Not that I have a reliance on alcohol, but I really wouldn't appreciate having this right taken away from me.

10. How would you say that underage youth are obtaining alcohol?
[x] Parents
[x] Young adults
[x] Fake IDs
[x] Other (please specify)
Parents buy it, as do older friends; friends'/fake IDs can be used to get into bars and clubs, and you can always stand outside the local convenience store until somebody agree to go in and buy it for you. Coem on, I got offered a blowjob to buy a bottle of Lambrini when I was 16 because I could get served.

11. Who do you feel is responsible for binge drinking in young adults and underage youth?
[x] Family
[x] Peers
[x] Media
[x] Celebrities
[x] Other (please specify)
Everybody. It's a culture now, underage drinking. It's not so much seeing celebrities drunk, because despite their high-profiles, the media doesn't grab too much of it unless they show some nudity, family often encourage responsible drinking but not always and the media give underage drinkers more attention that they deserve. There is a lot of peer pressure out there to drink and take drugs, but peer pressure I would say applies to situations where the person under pressure doesn't already want to drink, for example. This isn't so much the case I find, so much as, most teenagers want to drink already, and they might just get some slight encouragement from seeing peers drinking.

12. Why do you think that some people feel the need to drink alcohol on a daily basis?
For me, it rewards a long day's work and helps me to relax. For others, it's a way of letting their hair down, a way to boost confidence, an excuse for inappropriate acts, the risk, and the thoughts of drunken funny moments.

13. In your opinion, what action should be taken in order to reduce the number of people binge drinking?
A combination of a number of factors: more CCTV around stores watching for people trying to buy underage, stricter laws than "pour it down the drain" to those caught drinking underage, and bartenders need to "man up" and refuse drinks more. The latter is difficult to enforce, partly because it's a subjective decision for the bartender, partly because they don't want to stir up a fuss, and partly because the bar/club/store wants to make money.

14. In your opinion, what action should be taken to reduce the number of underage drinkers?
As above, perhaps minus the manning up of bartenders.

I think that being taught how to gradually handle alcohol is much better. My parents let me drink alcopops from the age of 11 (moved onto harder alcohol when I was about 15) and I seem to be the only person out of my friends who hasn't thrown up at a pub/party and can actually handle my drink. People drink underage and that's never going to stop and rising the age is just going to make the streets even worse because there will be even more teenagers hanging about who are so bored and they will probably be more likely to turn to drugs. If they're both illegal, might as well go for the drugs as well!

12. Why do you think that some people feel the need to drink alcohol on a daily basis?
Depression?

13. In your opinion, what action should be taken in order to reduce the number of people binge drinking?
Liver tests? I don't know, I think people should be allowed to do what they want to do.

14. In your opinion, what action should be taken to reduce the number of underage drinkers?
There shouldn't be. I think it's acceptable for teenagers to have a few alcopops with their friends when they're younger. I think this should be done indoors though, so maybe police patrols at night to stop teenagers drinking on the streets.

I like being able to drink. I'm rarely irresponsible with it and if you are going to consider an 18 year old an adult then you have to let them make their own decisions. Also, if you raise the drinking age its just going to encourage more underage drinking because i cannot see most people going through uni without drinking anything! __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________

13. In your opinion, what action should be taken in order to reduce the number of people binge drinking?
A more sensible definition of it! a lot of people exceed 6 units in a night but that does not mean they are causing problems, its just demonising an entire generation. for anyone who is causing problems, one warning and then fairly harsh penalties/regular checks to make sure they don't have alcohol in their bloodstream. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________

Government because of the taxation on drinking that then leads to the 'open market' on policy and sales across the board. The current legislation shows this, with new labour allowing 24 hour drinking.
