I think most would agree that prioritizing safety over freedom for children and adolescents is sometimes justified, but I find it sad that a curfew for individuals as old as 16 (and an even stricter one for adolescents under 13) can be celebrated the way it is in this article, especially when other countries have had a comparable reduction in adolescent alcohol consumption without implementing such a curfew. It makes me appreciate all the memories I have of staying out late in my own childhood and adolescence (without drinking or doing any drugs).
