Age does not matter


no under the age of 18

The government suggested that they will increase the age of the people who should be allowed to buy alcohol to 21 years. This is all possibly happening because they think that people younger than the age 21 year are irresponsible when they consume alcohol.

Firstly, I totally disagree with that because if you to a club or tavern you will find that the people who are being irresponsible are older than the age 18 they do things that not even an 18-year-old would do. Being irresponsible has nothing to do with age, it has to do with self-respect, loving yourself and knowing who you are. I find it very disturbing that the government has not done its research they assume that only those who are teens that are irresponsible. That is totally rubbish to me.
Secondly it will not work, not only in townships but also in night clubs (Long Street).  I say this because a person whose is allowed to enter the club should be 18 years so now do they think that these people (18-20) will not go to clubs or will not be severed alcohol in clubs, or they will tell club owners to increase the age too. In township I will not work because the 18 year-old things have not worked either so it is pointless to come with a plan that I find sooo stupid.

If they want to increase the age they should just do so and not talk about being responsible, and I see no reason to increase the age because it is not working and will not work.
