Parents to get youth drink guide
Are they having a laugh :confused: I think I must be missing something here - Parents to get youth drink guide, BBC
Parents are to be given guidelines as to how much alcohol their children can consume and at what age. I thought we already had such guidelines - Directgov. Alcohol, your child and the law Sod the new guidelines. We have laws in place governing this already. Just enforce the law, for goodness sake, how hard can it be. None of this “two-strike” business either, just apply the damned law of the land. |

Hehe, I thought you (and a few others on here) may take exception to this, we know the law is an ass, but does it have to be continually proven?

Re: Parents to get youth drink guide
ok... fair enough, its a idea and it means that parents will think about how much their child is drinking... it wont make the child think about it tho. As adults how many of us know the guielines but still drink more than that? Everyone has the 'it wont happen to me' view of drinking and smoking and telling people their guidelines isnt gunna change that.

Why don't they get that your "child" shouldn't be drinking at all?!

Re: Parents to get youth drink guide

How many parents have given their child a sip of what they are drinking? when i had tyler baptised my health visiter told me to keep an eye on my guests because she had a child that had been passed around the guests and each one had given the child a sip of their drink and the child had died of liver failure! |

That's disgusting behaviour! My children haven't touched alcohol and won't until they are old enough I'm afraid, well no I'm not afraid, cos it's the same with smoking, when they are old enough to buy it, they can have it, just the same with my daughters ear piercing, when she is old enough to get them done herself, then she can have them done Yes, my kids are probably gonna hate me:D Least I know I will have done all I can to steer them in the right direction |

Re: Parents to get youth drink guide
In much of Europe children do experience alcohol, as part of family meals.
They seem to grow up with the knowledge that it should be respected, and not abused just as soon as you get the chance. I've been to France and Italy numerous times, and have never seen drunk youths causing havoc, as we have here in the U.K. My friend Milly's mother thought her daughter had become a raging alcoholic after drinking three glasses of wine in one evening, after having lived in London for three years.:D |
Re: Parents to get youth drink guide
its bloody pathetic, same as people who try n explain its a good idea, the simple way is for the law to be upheld, as jaysay said in another thread, people who go along with this "Tripe" are as much to blame fer the mess we are in.:mad:

Re: Parents to get youth drink guide
I’m aware that people have a totally different mindset, with a view to alcohol, in other countries. Often from a very early age.
The thing is, we have our own laws governing the sale and consumption of alcohol, yes we have a problem. In my opinion it is that the law as it stands is not being enforced vigorously enough. That is the problem. Why do we have to have yet another instance of “namby pamby” legislation on the cards. Why consult the chief medical officer? Why have endless meetings/consultations with so-called experts sitting around a table dunking their digestives. Yet another waste of cash. |

Being drunk and disorderly in a public place usually meant being arrested and spending a night in police cells and maybe being up before the beak the next morning. Or in some cases the copper would walk the drunk back to his home. Of course that depended on the availability of a copper on the beat. You do remember a copper on the beat don’t you? It was this tall authoritative figure in a uniform wearing a helmet and walking around town keeping law and order. Sometimes there were two of them together. |
