Underage drinking

An article in today's Independent on Sunday makes depressing reading, particularly the fact that last year there were four times the number of prosecutions for selling alcohol to children as there were in 1995. If I believed the increase was due to stricter enforcement of the law, it would perhaps be encouraging, but I've no reason to believe that is the case. It's more likely that four times as many sales are being made to these kids. For what? For profit.
