The Barbados Road Safety Association (BRSA) has backed lawmakers raising the minimum age to buy or drink liquor from 16 to 18.
BRSA president Sharmane Roland-Bowen told
Barbados TODAY that for many years the association has been lobbying for the minimum drinking age to be raised to 21. But although the limit is three years younger than suggested, she said the BRSA is satisfied that at least an effort has been made to raise it.
The House of Assembly on Tuesday passed a new Liquor Licences Bill under which anyone caught selling alcohol to those under 18 or encouraging them to become involved in the business of selling liquor to those under 18, can be charged and fined $10,000, up to five years in prison, or both.
