Transcript
00:00do you think the reason of the minimum legal age for the concept of general
00:04call on sabato from 18 to 21 do you think it would help yeah i've nourished with that so i
00:08think it's a good decision the concept of raising the ages for drinking smoking
00:14from how much from how much from 18 to 21 they could never stop they can't stop that
00:21so the only making a puppet show are the own thing they're making a puppet show the governance
00:28because before them come yep youths were drinking and smoking since they were 14 15 16 going
00:36drinking smoking the cast of that along so working and you can have your own stories
00:43and if it happened in the problem so why am i doing 21.
00:49you think that you can help with potential substance abuse issues no that cannot help you
00:56have to help yourself with only being an alcoholic nobody can help you yes yes i approve of that
01:01yes yes of course i i believe so why due to due to people itself the consuming alcohol at an
01:15early age
01:16you know and they're abusing it i mean to say they're drinking too much they don't have a limit i
01:22mean to
01:22say when you take another drink it should be occasionally it don't have to overdo it so yeah
01:28give it a thumbs up no it wouldn't because people drink regardless so even if it's home if it's out
01:36because some places don't check id so they will ask are you old enough people say yeah and we'll still
01:43get
01:43it i know people who do it i know people who have done it before so i don't think it
01:49will change yes
01:50i believe it's a good thing because in this day and age the youths they have that mindset and maturity
01:56to handle these kind of substances and things so yeah i believe it's a good thing that they should
02:01do is the age of it i think it would help the country tremendously because right now we have a
02:08lot of
02:08alcohol related accidents on the road a lot of families are broken up because of people who may
02:15have lost their inhibitions when they deal with how they speak to each other and how they show love
02:21so i think it would be a responsible thing for people to get get a grip on
02:27you
