| Message | But history shows that prohition leads to an increase in crime. It would be costly to our system. I prefer the current law that way while minors can't purchase, there is less of a taboo (the forbidden fruit is the sweetest). |

| Message | There are so many alcohol bills in debate - I have lost track. I support minors not being able to buy alcohol, but consumption is something the government can't really control, so maybe we shouldnt try. |

| Date | 12:51:54, June 30, 2005 CET | From | Edelweiss Party | To | Debating the Alcohol Bill |
| Message | SLP: this is not an act for prohibition but a regulation not to sale alcohol to children - what we believe is still a moral and reasonable issue. |
| Date | 15:00:52, July 01, 2005 CET | From | SDP | To | Debating the Alcohol Bill |
| Message | No one underage can buy alcohal under this bill. To vote. |
| Date | 01:18:01, July 02, 2005 CET | From | Söhne der Freiheit | To | Debating the Alcohol Bill |
| Message | As it is this bill is unacceptable. There has to be a provision for children to be able to drink alcohol for religious purposes. No. |
