Change the legal age to buy and consume alcohol to 16

Petition Details

Make the legal drinking age 16 in public places like bars and clubs. Make the legal age to purchase alcohol from shops 16 too.

Additional Information

16-year-olds can go into the army, work and contribute to the economy. We think it’s only fair they get the same privileges 18-year-olds do.

We believe it could also boost the economy with more people contributing to small businesses.
