| Message | We agree. though we disagree about awareness, they drive it down your mouths in most schools. It is important that we promote a culture that recognizes that alcohol exists and that it is perfectly resonable to drink it socially. We must put an emphasis on its dangers but more importantly make efforts to turn it into something that is "not a big dea.l" A resolution to this affect would be a good addition. |

| Message | OK, we can run with this. |
| Date | 18:34:40, May 31, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Alcohol restrictions |
| Message | We agree with the pts raised by the FRP. Thus we would like to see it permissible for teens to drink at home with parental permission and supervision. Teens should be introduced to its effects to prevent abuse. |
| Date | 19:38:24, May 31, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Party | To | Debating the Alcohol restrictions |
| Message | We interpret this bill as it would only allow adults to purchase alcohol. The question if teenagers are allowed to drink at home or not should be left to the parents but we do not think that it is very wise to allow teenagers/youngsters to purchase alcohol on their own. |
| Date | 20:04:30, May 31, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Alcohol restrictions |
