It could but it won't. When anything like this is discussed you always get the same response of people saying it happens everywhere there's nothing you can do about it. Without the will to change things nothing will happen.Could such a thing work here too at all you reckon
that's because they are now 35 to 36 years old.In Iceland in 1998, 42% of 15-16 year olds said they got drunk and there was a real problem on Icelandic streets. Now, 20 years later that figure is just 5%.
I believe there is already a marked decline in teenage drinking & smoking in the UK.......not sure about other drugs, but 2 out of 3 is a good start.....
Yeah there is. Cannabis use started declining when Brown reclassified it in the 2000s, though there’s debate about the cause, teen pregnancy has been dropping for a while too.
Personally, I’d guess it’s down to a change in entertainment options for teenagers. Online games didn’t exist when I was a kid and today they all seem to sit in their room and play with each other remotely rather than running about the streets bored like I did. So I’m guessing Xbox Live saved the youth.

isn't there a growing issue within the older generations with regard to drink and drugs?
Maybe the youth are just looking at the state of their parents and thinking fuck that for a lark.
Till they emerge from that room with a bottle of acid in hand ...Yeah there is. Cannabis use started declining when Brown reclassified it in the 2000s, though there’s debate about the cause, teen pregnancy has been dropping for a while too.

I think I only ever got drunk twice. Once when I was 16 and then once on my birthday when I was about 30. Felt absolutely awful all day the next day, on both occasions and have never ever been drunk again since.
Never want to feel that shitty again.
I said I would never get drunk again and never have. Didn't find it a problem at all to stop to be honest.Blouse!
If I had a pound for every timer I said I'd never drink again I'd have enough money to go out and get absolutely rat arsed.

No. Not for more than 20 years. Was never, ever a drinker though. If I had beer, two pints would be my limit. I used to like brandy and lemonade, but would have 4 tops when I went out. As soon as I felt a little woozy I would stop and switch to soft drinks.do you drink at all?
After 20 years you must be very thirsty Otis. I'm with you all the way. Probably have on average 5 pints a year, for the last 30 years. But tea.....I can drink anyone under the table.No. Not for more than 20 years. Was never, ever a drinker though. If I had beer, two pints would be my limit.
