Closed Adoption of Denmark's Legal Drinking Age Policy

Closed on

That the UK government should adopt Denmark's policy

16 for alcohol above 1,3% and bellow 16,5% and 18 for alcohol above 16,5%.
18 for all alcohol in bars, restaurants and discos.
no limit for drinking at home.

This would help to promote social drinking as opposed to binge drinking and as the Danish system has proved, help control alcohol culture.
