I proposed a number of years ago that we would not have an age limit but rather have a school limit so that someone who was 18 or 19 and was still in secondary school would not be allowed to purchase alcohol. I thought that would reduce peer pressure because I think there is a huge problem there. There are 18-year-olds in sixth year. I was only 16 in sixth year. I do not know if Professor Murray has any views on that.
