According to research by FARE (The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education) many people tend to think supplying alcohol to other people’s children is okay.
In fact they think it is less wrong morally than supplying these underage children with other illegal alcohol related behaviour such as drink driving.
Researchers found that there’s an idea amongst Australians that not drinking or not providing alcohol to people is just not the norm.
Researchers advise that people need to be made aware of the risks associated with underage drinking.
