| Message | LSE - I seriously don't understand why you'd support allowing kids to purchase alchohol. |

| Message | Again we believe that education is far better and it is a fact that a number of children are more likely to be attracted to something if it is banned. |

| Message | I'm only voting against this one on "stupid game rules" grounds. The current law is a farce, but alas I've been painted a regulator quite enough. |

| Message | Outlawing alcohol for youngsters actually encourages their uptake of the substance. I provide the following generalisation: Europe: many places children and taught to drink wine from a young age. They grow up drinking socially. UK: Drinking age is 18 and poorly enforced. Kids become street-corner binge drinkers and beat folk up and USA: Drinking age is 21 and strongly-ish enforced. "Give me a six-pack and a funnel". |
