| My view though is alcohol is a personal decision which affects your own body and mind (Not including going for a joy ride afterwards) therefore no regulation should be valid in that case.
When it comes to regulations in protecting children (in some way anyways) until they are 18 and able to legally make decisions for themselves without being influenced by an adult brainwashing them as they grow up, then I'm all for it.
I mean, I'm not for controlling what youths can decide on, and if they want to have sex with someone their age or near, whom has a similar level of experience then so be it..... but when it comes to a very noticable age difference, like 26yo vs.13yo..... I'd have to lean strongly at the chances of influence by the older person and what they want to do, rather then what the youth wants to do and there's a clear imbalance. |
