Age no BAR!

The governmenet gave in a new verdict.
The legal drinking age has gone down to 21 from 25.
Real good news... isnt it?
Well... as if anyone ever cared!...The papers say people want it to go down to 18.Well does that mean those who are 18 do not drink coz the legal age was 25 earlier and now 21?
Now im sounding like a fool.
All bullshit!
Are those people there sitting behind the benches fools or they think their policies over drinking are really effecting people who are drinking.
Do they really think that if the legal age is 25 then all people below that age were not drinking? and now that its 21 all those who are below that wont?
Making the age 18 or 21 or 25 or even 16 for that matter is no soultion from preveting the youth to drink. Well whatever it maybe.. i dont think it is actually followed anywhere in this entrie country.
I have friends who drink...infact i myself have taken it at times...and never have we been asked for an ID proof!
i know children in school who drink very often. I have seen children in school unifroms at pubs in a place like Delhi,the national capital and there is no check on what they are buying and what they are drinking.
High time the authorities need to wake up and take an action.
Anyone who wants to drink, will drink!
No matter how many seminars,awareness programmes or public intrest meetings are held. Its all in the minds of the glass holders.
People who drink no more of how its harming them than those who dont.
No use of wasting parliament sessions on taking out bills which define laws on who is eligible to drink or who is not.
Cause the truth is ..nobody carees!
The people who are selling it dont.
The ones who are buying it dont
And the ones who are making rules,definately doNT.
Welcome to reality.
cheers!
