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?

it will not make a difference as usually they will get someone older purchase the alcohol anyway. I think some not all parents could be a bit strickter about it, was at a wedding recently a parent let there 16 drink and become intoxicated this is where the problem starts.
