Make it so you have to show some form of photo ID (a photo driving
licence
would be ideal...no need for government ID cards!) before you can
purchase
alcohol.

The retailer has to log the sale...against ID details.

If it transpired that the purchaser was buying for someone underage....he
loses his driving licence for 5 years.

And if it transpired that a retailer was proven to be selling alcohol
without checking for the ID...keeping accurate record etc....then he
loses
his business!

Wouldn't THAT work?


Also if it transpired that someone underage was caught drinking......
he loses his life. THAT works too.


The streets would be thronged with fourteen year olds drinking Tizer out of
old cider bottles and jeering at the police.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
