Step is most concerned about parties where a fixed price unlimited can be drunk. "These are parties which are inconsistent with basically anything that involves legislation," says the director of Step Wim van Dalen in the NOS Radio 1 Journal.

According to him, will find in these parties little or no monitoring for age, is given by people who have too much to drink and adolescents admitted that too much.

All or nothing

"We know that the hospitality industry is one of the worst compliers is the age limit," says Van Dalen. "It's all hands on deck, mainly for municipalities. They have to attract them this. That also means that municipalities inspectors should best prepare and deploy."

In De Telegraaf read doctors and the Trimbos Institute also sounding the alarm. According to them, work parties where unlimited drunk at a fixed amount may be alcohol in hand. "The image which prevails to this sort of nights have to get your money 'out of it'," said a spokesman of the Trimbos Institute in the newspaper.

Energy

Doctors say further in the newspapers that combine youth alcohol with energy drinks. As a result they do not get tired and keep going, so they eventually fall or have to vomit.

Although the age at which alcohol can be increased drunk, Van Dalen sees little difference. "There is no change in the number of young people under the influence and hit to the hospital." However, the average age of young people who are recorded slightly increased.

Checks

Van Dalen apron not to the preparation of the auditors, but they must be well used during these parties.

The Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) late in the Telegraph knowing that municipalities occur if with drink prices are stunted. But whether there are specific counter parties with unlimited drinks is taken, the VNG could not say.
