Its usually drink and swimming that kills the yoofs at the seaside.
In Blackpool there are plenty of drownings with drink involved, but the other cause is people jumping in to save their dogs. A couple of years ago a father drowned in front of his daughter when trying to save their dog. A couple of years before that 2 local teenagers drowned trying to save a dog, and then the worst being 1983 when a holiday maker went in to try to save his dog, and then 3 police officers went in to to try and save him. All four + the dog drowned.
I think the statistics are 90% of drownings of ages 17 to 35 involve alcohol.
Should ban alcohol
Life is dangerous. Someone at my wife's work died the other week while texting. He was going down a spiral staircase and somehow fell to the bottom (honestly). Should mobiles be banned, or maybe spiral staircases? I did say "poor sod, but he should have been looking where he was going". I mean, how difficult is it to wait until a suitable time to text someone back? Eejit.
Tragic, but....................Well done that local council.
1) Create chav magnet town,
2) Add alcohol.
3) Point alcohol-laden chavs at scenic high-point
4) Hand out leaflets entitled "the secret life of Lemmings"
5) Job done!
This new method of chav disposal is being monitored by many local councils after they dismissed earlier trials by Bridgend local Authority in Wales which were deemed "too slow" and "too random" by Welsh police and Ambiwlans services!

Ah I'm heading down there in a few weeks, I'll see what the fuss is all about...
Be careful of those big things with the sea at the bottom.Maybe now they can ban 16 year olds from public.
The only peoples to blame here are the parents for letting a 16 year old go on a piss up and the 16 year old for going on a piss up and falling off a cliff.

Sums it up petty well I think. Now, stopping young men getting booze by hook or by crook is patently impossible.
Serving it to them in a restaurant is another thing altogether.

Underage drinking
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy an alcoholic drink or for anyone knowingly to purchase a drink for someone underage. It is also against the law for anyone running licensed premises (or their employees) to sell a drink to someone underage. There is an exception: it is not an offence to buy a drink for a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old in conjunction with a table meal in a restaurant as long as the meal is not in the bar area. Similarly, a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old can purchase a drink in a restaurant with a table meal under these restrictions.
