Increase Alcohol Purchase Age 21
Britain should consider making the legal drinking age 21 as this will lower young person drink related deaths.
The UK has one of the worst problems in Europe with a fifth of children aged 11 to 15 drinking at least once a week. (bbc news source)
By raising the age threshold, "It is at least possible that those in their early and mid teens will not see drink as something they will soon be allowed to do so therefore they might as well start doing it surreptitiously now."
