The emphasis is placed on the other drugs.-People phone in and report them.” Leibel said the RCMP are often confiscate alcohol from - Ininors who get it. from a variety of sources, ““f its from the friendly bootlegger, a 25 ounce bottle might go for $10 to,$15,” Lelbel said, “If ils a case of beer, the boatlegger will sell itforabout$8 to $10a case,” | ‘Teenagers are also supplied by family members or friends added Leibel, and he stated that 18 year-clds aften had many ’ friends legal age. . ; .

More immediate evidence of the consequences of teenage alcohol use are the typea of criminal ‘charges and traffic accidents that are related to it, According to statistics from the ministry of the Attorney- General alcohol is implicated in half the traffic fatalities that involve persons aged 16 to 20, and those fatalities account for ‘26 per cent of the total highway deaths, ° In Terrace, Constable Ken Lelbel said one of the most common motives for break and enter and willful damage reports in the local area involves aleohol use by teenagers. “Moat of the break and enters are committed by juveniles . and the only things taken are liquor or cash to buy liquor,” said Leibel, “We find they weren't drunk when they com- mitted: the offense, they are after they do dt” the liquor is going to be consi confiscate it,” he said, , Leibel stated that if teenagers get into trouble with the police for any reason, the reaction from the parents can mean the difference between never seeing the teenager again, or becoming well acquainted, “If the parent comes down here and thinks its funny that umed illegally by a minor, we - “It's a whole soclal question,” said Watts. “It comes down to the home situation, parents, ete.
