If it were me I'd just write about the cost of policing drunken behaviour, drink driving, cost on NHS etc but also that it may give private enjoyment and that it has price inelastic demand so can gain a lot of tax revenue for the government which can be hypothecated into the original problem or spent else where.

Oh right, and structure.
Well if its long have an intro, but I don't usually care for such things, pros, cons, maybe a few statistics from tutor2u, I don't know if there are any (I'll have a look for you in a minute) and then a conclusion, stuff like 'it depends on' maybe if the society was older they may be more responsible and how large punishments are for serving under age drinkers, and maybe a judgement

Generates revenue for the Government through tax.

•

Drunken behaviour costs the NHS millions each year.

•

Services such as the police, ambulance crews & maybe fire crews are taken up due to drunken behaviour.

•

Drink driving can cost lives (innocent bystanders).

Those are just a few points. charlottehoney has pretty much given you good advice already. Just ask if you need more help. :smile:

But then again, if you think about prohibition in America, it cost a lot more to police the illegal use of it and the organised crime it created. And people ended up going blind or whatever from the home made booze so would have cost health services more. Interesting...

Remember to relate negative social impact discussions to negative externalities, and PMC/SMC diagrams.

In this way, you will include more credit-worthy economic theory than social commentary.
