Should the age be raised from 18 to 21 in Australia to combat underage drinking?
Does anyone really think this will help with under-age drinking or make it worse?

i do not believe raising the age to 21 will do anything, i remember when i was younger i would do anything to get the alcohol, and been under 18 did nothing to stop me. 21 will just be the same. And at least people will be in the safety of pubs, clubs and so on instead of out in the street or parks getting wasted.
