Raise Drinking Age
New medical evidence on accident probability, disease and brain
development, along with the Child and Youth Mortality Review, and
the recommendations of the Prime Minister’s chief science adviser,
made it absolutely clear that delaying the age at which teenagers
and young people have easy access to alcohol would reduce the level
of damage they and society suffer at the moment as well as
contributing to their future health and well-being. An increase in the
drinking age would undo some of the harm which has resulted from
the previous lowering of the age.
