Closed petition Change legal age for buying alcohol to 21 and require alcohol to be covered up

We would like the Government to introduce ‘colinsLAW’ by changing the legal minimum age for buying alcohol to 21, and to require retailers to cover up alcohol sold in their stores.

More details

We would like the Government to do this because when young at the age of 18, alcohol can cause problems with crime, it can affects children's education, and for addicts who are in recovery we believe it is totally unfair for a recovering addict to go for milk for the cup of tea and all they see is alcohol. This change would surely make a difference. The Government need to listen to us.
