Message	These regulations aren't really doing anything, since if people want to drink, they're going to et alcohol regardless of the restrictions we put. All this law does is raise the cost of alcohol for ordinary people. Let us abolish it.

Message	Opposed. This is really stupid.

From	Judicial Union Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Well no, it's not. People can decide whether to drink alcohol or not, they don't need the government to decide for them.

To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Well yes it is stupid. This opens the door for 8 yo having whiskey. Not to mention alcohol poisoning for all ages.

From	Judicial Union Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Alcohol poisoning can happen anyway, regardless of the legality. In addition, by and large, children don't like the taste of alcohol.

To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	This still poses a risk to public safety. That cannot be tolerated.

Message	Guess what? I am not. I am opposed though to giving it to minors which this law will effectively do.

To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Isn't a compromise possible? Keeping the minor-prohibition, but loosen the bureaucratic licensing stuff.. We'ld fully support that

From	Liberty Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Not according to the options that I have.

Date	23:29:21, August 05, 2008 CET
From	Judicial Union Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Kids are going to drink regardless of whether it's illegal or not. Prohibition just doesn't work, and it's a waste of police and court time to try enforce.

Date	23:41:18, August 05, 2008 CET
From	Liberty Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	And who is proposing Prohibition?

Date	03:45:15, August 06, 2008 CET
From	Hello Kitty Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Apparently those of us who oppose this stupid bill.

Date	04:00:11, August 06, 2008 CET
From	Judicial Union Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	Good work HKP. Indeed, by discriminating against buyers, there is a prohibition against that class of buyers from making purchases. They will still get alcohol of course, so the prohibition is useless at best, and dangerous at worse.

Date	05:20:33, August 06, 2008 CET
From	Hello Kitty Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	And making it legal is still dangerous but still your point is off base. Maybe they will get alcohol but there are regulations in place to ensure that they do not. They are not old enough to know the consequences of drinking. Another reason why we have laws about carding individuals to make sure that kids do not get their hands on it. We also make sure that those who supply the alcohol to minors are brought to trial as well.

Date	06:24:28, August 06, 2008 CET
From	Judicial Union Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	There are people of any age that don't know the consequences of drinking.

Date	14:52:12, August 06, 2008 CET
From	Liberty Party
To	Debating the Drugs (Alcohol) Abolition Act
Message	That we can agree on.
