The repercussions that currently follow the apprehension of under-age youth with alcohol constitute a slap-on-the-wrist. Although a teen can be charged with a provincial offense, the incidence of that occurring is low.
The current policies have been constructed with what seems to be an authoritative scope or lens, one that does not accommodate the views of different others’. Furthermore, the impact that the current laws have had on reducing the occurrence of under-age drinking, and the consequences of such behaviour such as drinking and driving, has been insignificant. This fact is reflected in the current numbers of teens who part-take in alcohol consumption and who suffer many negative consequences as a result of their continued behaviour (http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/files/ric/Publications/e08042480.pdf).
