The National Health and Medical Research Council's guidelines warn parents that alcohol is particularly dangerous for under-15s and they should try to delay their teenagers' drinking for as long as possible.

Why things like this don't happen decades before is a mystery to me. Aboriginal kids are sniffing petrol and drinking in the Northern Territory, but no one really cares...Main reason for teens dying in Australia is alcohol related accidents. And also causes a lot of unwanted pregnancies. Does anyone here drink alcohol? And what are your opinions in regards to banning it (or at least hard liquors) completely? Would like to know every ones thoughts. Cheers

Ban it? Hah, good luck with that. It sure didn't work here. I'll laugh if you guys ban it and then end up with some kind of Australian Mafia.
