When I was a teenager, I took a drink when I was under age. I am sure others did too. The difference between then and now is that we probably did not have as much money. A survey carried out two years ago in Dublin 15 showed that 65% of secondary school children, approximately 2,500, were working in excess of 15 hours per week in the local shopping centre. That generated £100 every week in pocket money for those children. It is the advances we have made and the affluence of society that has caused part of this problem.
