10. ACTIVITY 1: What does the Law say?Buying by proxy It is illegal for anyone over the age of 18 to knowingly buy alcohol for someone under the legal drinking age. If a young person asks an older friend or family member to buy alcohol on their behalf, they are asking that person to break the law and to run the risk of being charged for supplying alcohol irresponsibly to minors.
11. ACTIVITY 1: What does the Law say?Drink DrivingThe amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is called the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). BAC can be measured using a breathalyser or by analysing a sample of blood. It is difficult to predict how much any alcoholic drink will raise the BAC of a particular person as someone’s BAC is affected by many factors. Alcohol’s affects the brain, slowing down a person’s reaction times.There are severe penalties for drink driving and the effects go on after any fine or banDon’t ever accept a lift from someone you suspect is over the drink drive limit. Do everything you can to persuade them not to drive – you could be saving their life or someone else’s.
12. ACTIVITY 2: You and the LawAnswer the following questions:Why might a parent/carer allow their child to taste some alcohol even if they aren’t allowed to buy it themselves until they’re 18?Why do you think the law says under 18s can’t buy alcohol from shops, off- licences and supermarkets?What problems might it cause if young people were allowed to buy alcohol?Thinking about the laws we’ve looked at, would you change any, if so why?
