How does one stop underage drinking?
The statistics show ever increasing alcohol abuse leading to death and there is nothing we can do about it, or is there?

Is there more dying, or more percent of population?.

Decriminalise/legalise cannabis. Until the moral panic and witch hunts for cannabis in the 70/80s, it was the drug of choice. Only deadheads drank when the herb was freely available and CHEAP. In the mid 70s an ounce cost $30, about 20% of an average wage, today it seems to be $300, over 50%, assuming they can get a nonMacjob.
Please no raving about the hideous new strength of cannabis, that's not even good black propaganda.

When I was at high school we knew no one who drank alcohol. The worst was a fag.
Then came the hippy era and its craziness and then things got worse. So what was it then, that kept it together, that isnt here today. It was the Bible. The Word was taught in the schools and people respected others more than now. We had an "absolutes" teaching standard for youth through the education system.
Its up to "societys fathers" to want that standard back to change things back. Its called encouraging Christian revival at every level of society.
Think forward 20 years or so, if The Lord tarries. How dark will those days be for youth if Christian revival fails to come? People could easily be hunted on our streets. I see the fall of a civilisation coming. Who will stop it?

The whole senario of underage drinking and drugs is a sign of a worlds future demise.
The future is after all, in the hands of our children.

Try telling a sixteen year old who drinks to stop drinking and he'll probably hit you with a bottle!

Lower the drinking age so that their drinking can be monitored better in pubs etc.

Lower the drinking age to 16 as in France so that their drinking can be monitored better in pubs etc.
