They are demanding police visibility at liquor outlets and discouraging the sale of alcohol to underage persons. The learners have called on law enforcement and various community leaders to take a stand and clamp down on those who sell alcohol to minors.“We are urging that the police must raise awareness to other officers that they should be more alert about what’s happening in our youth and must be always on the lookout in liquor outlets.

“We must begin to start to look at the issue of compliance, by our liquor traders those who still continue to sell alcohol to young people were saying they must stop that immediately they must stop that immediately they must stop that immediately because where they continue to do that you know drastic actions will be taken against them so we are very excited and we hope in other areas of province young people are going to stand up as well.”Toxicologist Dr.
