As teenagers around him laugh. The guy who filmed the video ended up giving it to the police.

Underage drinking is our NewZealand Nationals disgrace.

2. 'Drunk' child prompts police move

Police are investigating what they are say is an appalling incident of a young boy getting drunk in Hamilton.

<snip>

Nicholls said police attended the Fairfield Park Skate-bowl on Clarkin Rd about 6pm yesterday after calls to the 111 call centre.

They found the boy at his home nearby with his mother.

"The mother, who with her son met with me this afternoon, told the attending officer she thought the boy was across the road playing and she wasn't aware he was elsewhere, being put at risk by persons providing him alcohol."

Nicholls said the only way he could describe the behaviour of the persons who supplied the child with alcohol was to state it was appalling.

"The boy told me he had consumed eight cans of 7% premix bourbon and cola and two liqueur shots.

"Not only is giving a child alcohol illegal it has the potential to be significantly harmful to his health.

"The people concerned should be aware that the new alcohol legislation introduced late last year gives the police a raft of sanctions from issuing a warning through to an infringement notice and taking court action."

Nicholls said police were working with Child Youth and Family to provide appropriate care for the boy and support for his family.

5. How cool is it to live in a country where this is news.

It reminds me of a trip to Canada where I saw PSAs reminding people to take their keys and lock the doors of their cars because somebody might take your car or your stuff. And when I came across the border, the only thing they were at all concerned about was if I were bringing any guns with me.

Oh, to live among the sane!

6. Another responsisble alcohol owner. We should ban it or make people lock it up

unless they are drinking it (followed up by home to home inspections to ensure they have spent the money for safes - poor people need not apply).

8. At what age

do our children begin smoking, drinking and doing drugs in America?

It's out there, most definitely, in poor neighborhoods. I've seen news clips and advertising on TV (depicting an older teen trying to get and younger one involved into selling or buying) drugs.

I smoked my first cigarette at the age of 14, and tried MJ at the age of 20. Couldn't wait to drink my first beer @ 18, living in KCMO, we drove across the state line into Kansas to buy 3.2 beer. At first, it was a big deal, but the big deal soon wore off the next day with a headache. I didn't drink much afterwards, just didn't care for it, but it probably affects different people in different ways.
