The report also identifies ‘proxy-purchasing’ as a growing trend with 42% of underage drinkers claiming to have bought alcohol from friends, relatives or “someone else”. Data contained in the report found that while just 4% of underage consumers would try to buy alcohol at the till in a large supermarket, 74% would attempt to obtain alcohol from parents and 86% from older siblings or friends.The control freaks at Alcohol Policy really don't like the idea that a parent could possibly determine whether or not their child can have alcohol to drink. That kind of decision is the sole preserve of professional organisations who have, in their infinite wisdom, decreed that alcohol should not be drunk by anyone under the age of 18 .........

This is standard operation procedure for the Left. De-power parents, communities and legitimate representative organisations and make the State the sole arbiter of morals and actions.
Scum the lot of them.
I agree with Anonymous: this is cultural Marxism.

They will only stop when they have turned us all into mindless cattle to do with what they want. I have just browsed through Aangirfan's blog - that gives me a few thoughts as to what it is they actually want us for. A shudder runs down my spine at the thought.
Recently overheard comment between two girls aged about 14-15.
"Oh 'Tricia', you always get like that every time you get drunk..."
It ain't working Alcohol Policy, how sad.

There it is in a nutshell.
Near where I lived there used to be a policy whereby the local cops would 'take' alcohol (whether legal or not) from youngsters (apparently, anyone under 21) on the streets and pour in down the nearest storm drain. Yeah, I know, its for the common good but it always left me a little uneasy. I'm not sure that State sponsored alcohol snatch squads roaming the streets are a good example to set the young either.
I understand that this policy has now been adopted further afield. Meanwhile the place above enforces a blanket curfew instead.
