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?

If the age is raised to 21 that is going to make the population of under age drinking raise. Since they will then be including everyone between the age 18 - 21 aswell.

Since i was able to drink legally i have slowed down and only drink when is neccessary (special occasion) or when i really need it!

This will cause more problems with police, pubs and other social outings trying to keep the higher population of underage drinkers under control. This will cause Pubs, clubs etc to be more strict on ID and police wasting resources catching underages instead of criminals.
