Task force seeks input on under drinking issues

I decided to blog about an under age drinking article.I thought this article was revelent because of just attending an AA meeting.The article is about a local town looking to take more actions against underage drinking involving the adults who allow this in their houses. Burlington Drug & Alcohol Task Force's Marilyn Belmonte said postponing teens’ access to alcohol for a longer period decreases the chances the youngster will develop an alcohol problem. I agree with Belmonte's approach for stronger punishments for the parents who are allowing the drinking to take place in their homes. If the children have a better idea on what is right from wrong about drinking then they will be more likely to have a less abusive relationship with alcohol and drugs.I think it is really important for cities and towns to review their previous laws and decide what is best for their youth.
