I think its deeper than that because I travel a helluva lot and visit countries where alcohol is about 50p a litre yet the youth have not adopted it as part of their past time or culture.All shopping malls have bars where children are allowed to sit and eat and their parents can have a glass of wine or a beer yet I have never seen a gang of rowdy teenagers giving it "the large".There is something fundamentally wrong in this country where youngsters feel that in order to be 'grown up' they must get pissed, smoke heavily, take drugs, be absusive, spit on the sidewalk and get a local under 16 year old girl pregnant and all before they can shave or celebrate their 13th birthday.
Must take wife to work will finish this posting later.
