LOL as if that’s gonna stop them from owning smartphones, teenagers don’t even have that much money to even pay for it to begin with cuz they’re school kids, so it’s always the parents that pay for it anyways. This proposed legalisation is literally not going to do anything.
No shit tbh, most of us UK folks often have our first drunk experience when we’re like in our early to mid teens and the normalisation and acceptance of alcohol has definitely impacted this. It’s kinda like most ppl don’t see anything wrong with it, despite giving kids alcohol can literally cause issues due to it.
Quite a different case on my behalf though as I was raised pretty strict in my household and wasn’t allowed any alcohol until in my mid teens due to how much alcoholism ran in the family and my parents being scared due to that plus the normalisation of it too, though didn’t prevent drinking outside of home with those really horrid k-cider cans and me taking alcohol from the fridge that they rarely drank (except beer and I couldn’t take it out otherwise shit would happen and it would be bad) and going out with friends with it.
