As Senator Kitt said, the most frightening sign for us in Ireland is that in the surveys one quarter of people between 15 and 18 years of age get so drunk on a monthly basis that they cannot remember what they did. That is so far distant from the conviviality of having a drink with friends. There is a determination to obliterate themselves. There is a lack of values and a lack of alternatives and that should disturb us. That sense of being oblivious to anything worthwhile in life is obviously a place where suicide and violence against other people can become issues. A sense of hopelessness can lead to crime. As a society we have to wonder why a quarter of our young people would say that they go out on a regular basis as under 18s and get so drunk that they cannot even remember whether they enjoyed themselves.
