“Nowadays, teenage alcoholism is increasing, so it is necessary to find a remedy for this problem as soon as possible. The most basic prevention is to make it difficult for youngsters to find a drink. The harder it is for children to find a drink, the better it will be.” Wow, what a remedy. Making it harder for teenagers to find a drink won’t stop them from drinking. Better education mainly from home and from school will. The more you restrict people forcefully from doing things, the more aggravated and curious they become. It is a simple human nature. Whoever makes drinking law in Nepal, I suggest him/her not to learn from US, but rather from Europe. America has a strong drinking law and yet underage people find ways to drink, drive, and turn alcoholic. Whereas in Europe, mainly in France, where people learn to drink in early age have lower rate of alcoholism. The cafeterias in some of France’s, Italy’s and Germany’s colleges and universities have beer taps and serve alcohol. Now imagine that in America. Americans would be taking their lessons in cafeteria than in classes. So proper education at early age within family about how much to drink, when to drink and why to drink would be better than blatantly passing laws that would only increase criminal activities.
