Scipione slams 'drink until you drop' culture...

The NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione claims NSW needs to debate alcohol advertisement's methods and its affects on adolescents.
It is a good article because it portrays very simply and clear what it is about and which side of the 'drink till you drop' culture that is supported. Delete the scoop?

This article says that teenagers these days are more exposed to alcohol which by the statics are shown to be true. Teenagers are more dependant and fill the need to fit in. All the information shows that it affects teenagers health.

This article is about how teenage drinkers are at greater health risk, and the age of people drinking alcohol is younger. Most teenagers are having their first full drink of alcohol by the age of 15, which is putting them at greater risk of dependence, mental health problems and drug addiction.

I thought this was a great article to read, as it gives statistics that show that teenagers are drinking alcohol at increasingly younger ages cause mainly by influence from parents/guardians/TV/friends/siblings or just gernerally wanting o experiment with independance. This article explains the increasing chances of mental health issues in younger people cause by alcohol and drugs.

This article shows the effects of alcohol on teenagers.
More than 400 teenagers were collected off Perth’s streets, and of the 400, more than half had drinking problems according to the police. This article shows how teenagers weren’t responsible with alcohol, and tells the problems due to drinking.

The article gives us information we need to know about teens & their families today. People are ignoring these types of things, hoping it actaully isnt happening when it is. Over 400 teens were taken off the streets (late at night) with alcohol & drugs in their hands. This is a problem need to be delt with as they're doing in Perth, all they need is help so we should be giving it to them. Delete the scoop?
