Agree with you there Radhika... I think the whole problem with underage drinking is that the laws in developed countries allow kids to get a driving license at the age of 16!
Now if a 16-year old officially had a car, he certainly will have friends who want to hitch a ride with him, and knowing how rebellious teens are, they probably also find way to get their hands on booze...
And if you see where I’m going with this, then you’d certainly understand that the problem here isn’t underage drinking, its underage drinking mixed with driving.
Perhaps they should lower the legal drinking age and up the legal age for procuring a driving license and see if that helps!

actually drinking and driving is a global phenomena and should b addressed on a bigger platform. under the influence of alcohol many other crimes of passion hv also been committed. so the bigger need is to advocate drinking with responsibility.
