IS WLBL SERIOUS ABOUT UNDER-AGED DRINKING?

Green Synergy: Profiting from underaged drinking since nineteen ninety naught!

The answer is 'No.'  Obviously  not.

Two years ago, a Caribbean-wide study showed that St Lucian teens were among the worst abusers of alcohol in the region. Worse yet, it showed that St Lucian teens were more likely to be abusive drinkers for life than just about any other island in the Caribbean, including Wommier Headquarters, Trinidad and Tobago.

We don't support underaged alcoholism, we just profit from it.

 

A youth magazine  approached  WLBL's Shelly Black, along with other members of the Alcoholic Beverage Association about doing something to help curb teenage drinking.  Instead of throwing resources at the opportunity, the alcohol dealers told the  magazine to come up with a plan that does not in any way impute them in teen alcoholism in any way.

From the alcohol dealers' point of view, they are not in any way responsible  for teen alcoholism. There are laws to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors.  Not to mention that parents, teachers, communities  and churches have failed in their responsibility to young people.

All true.

However, during the 2013 HEINEKEN Green Synergy events, it was clear that WLBL did not care enough about teen drinking to prevent under aged  people from entering the event.

Does this mean that WLBL encourages teen drinking because teens are the single biggest demographic group. Does it mean that WLBL is deliberately working on turning Lucian teens into a bunch of wommiers before they reach the age of  maturity.

Not necessarily.

But if they had enforced a no-minors rule  at the door, there would be zero  chance that minors would be caught on camera, drinking alcohol at their premiere event. Unfortunately they didn't. And so now, The FLOGG presents LIL KIDS@GREEN SYNERGY.

For the record, WLBL did take some measures against teen drinking. Over and over, the MC could be heard telling the crowd, "Remember, minors are not allowed to purchase or  drink alcohol." Which is wrong on so many levels. I mean, if no one checked ID at the gate, you think anyone is going to check ID at the bar? You shouldn't have let them in to begin with. But we know why you did.

We know why you did.

Dumb ass cops didn't get no order so they let the kids into the booze  party. Couyons!

After they brought her to the DJ Wommier Dance, they're well giving her rum to drink again.

As for this one. She's like nine or eleven. Whose dysfunctional conscience let her in the dance?

Don't take your picture? Too late for that.

To be fair, this boy was drinking one of those deadly energy drinks, not alcohol. Phew!

And what's in that cup, Shelley? Kool-Aid? Fruta? You don't feel the least bit responsible for this?
