I propose that people should be allowed to buy alcohol at 18 in licensed premises such as pubs and restaurants but the age limit should be raised to 21 years if buying at supermarkets or off licences.

Why the contribution is important

Increasing the age would  make it harder for young people to buy alcohol and hopefully help reduce the amount of under age drinkers. Keeping the age lower for licensed premises would boost business for pubs and restaurants while people drank in a more 'controlled' environment.

Thank you for taking the time to post your idea.
 
Please note, this website is about repealing or amending existing laws in order to restore civil liberties and cut business and third sector regulation.

We believe that the idea that you have submitted falls outside our present remit, because your idea involves the creation of an entirely new law or regulation, rather than the repeal or amendment of an existing one.

For that reason, we have closed this idea for further comments. We hope there will be a suitable opportunity in the future for your contribution.
