| Message | Seriously? You want to see drunken children wreaking havoc on our streets? |

| Message | Introducing children to a little alcohol at an early age, encourages them to drink responsibly when older. In our opinion parents are quite capable of placing limitations that they feel necessary on thier children. |

| Message | How can parents possibly impose any limitation if their children can freely obtain alcohol? This reckless bill takes control away from parents and promotes underage drinking. |
| Date | 20:22:24, November 04, 2010 CET | From | People's Independence Party | To | Debating the Alcohol Reform |
| Message | And does the current law not already allow parents to introduce their child to a little alcohol? |

| Message | Yes, and alcohol also has been scientifically proven to have more affect on the mind at a younger age, while the brain is still developing. I think this bill was made so the alcohol companies would earn more money. WE HAVE A SCANDAL ON OUR HANDS!!! |

| Message | There is no scandal here. Let us increase coporation tax now (as we keep proposing without success) to combat any increase in the alcohol companies profits. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
