There's been a call this week for the Commonwealth Government to raise Australia's legal drinking age from 18 to 21, in a bid to reduce alcohol fuelled deaths and crime. The call comes as teenagers across the nation head off to the traditional party spots for schoolies week, a time that generally results in a lot of binge drinking and social problems. Drug Free Australia executive officer Jo Baxter is one of the voices behind the campaign and she spoke to us this week about the issue.

What do you think about raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21?

Would it be effective or would young people still flout the laws?

Tell us your experience or thoughts in relation to teen drinking.
