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 agree the age of drinking should be increased to 21, also increase the fines of the venues where alcohol is sold. Hopefully this would cut down on the need to keep selling and getting our young people drunk.
