SHANE O'CONNOR,
Madam, - We do have a problem with excessive drinking, but it's a problem for all age groups, not just young people. So everyone, please, please stop whinging about our youth and do something: more education, better example, stiffer penalties for drink-related crime, in particular drink-driving and assaults. And parents should take some responsibility. There should be penalties for parents of children/under-age youths who are found drinking or are convicted of drink-related crimes. - Yours, etc.,
SHANE O'CONNOR,
