Regulate cheap alcohol products
THE Government should either regulate or totally ban cheap alcohol products.
They are cheap, have high percentage in alcohol contents, and affordable to almost anyone.
That is harmful.
During this festive period, most of our youths behaved wildly because of those cheap and affordable alcohol products.
Today, you can hardly see decent young people.
You see a lost generation instead, drinking and causing nuisance in public.
Many may argue with me on the economic benefits of regulating or banning cheap and high percentage alcohol products but the negative effects outweigh those benefits.
We don’t need to study rocket science to prove that.
Walk into any surgical wards and you will see youths having tubes inserted into their stomachs, having liver complications and kidney failures as a result of consuming alcohol irresponsibly.
It is our responsibility to monitor and encourage our teenagers on the negative effects of alcohol.
Those in the alcohol industry should consider these issues and produce better products.
They should be responsible and see the negative effects their products are having on our young generation. There’s more to do.
I appeal to the Government to consider this before we lose our young generation.

Just banned cheap alcohol straight , no ifs or buts. Our teens today are the worst then the teens of the 90s.
Simply lazy and waiting to be feed by their parents, units/credits for mobile phone, bus fare to go wander aimlessly at the shopping malls or just lazing around.
We can’t blame the Gov’t, the fingers must go back to the parents. I think the Gov’t should come up with a law to punish lazy parents who does not discipline their kids.
Alcohol abuse is self inflicted.
Why don’t you get the Govt to regulate the high accommodation rentals instead of alcohol?
