Young B.C. drinkers begin
before reaching legal age

Most young B.C. drink-
ers were consuming alcohol
long before they were legally
allowed to do so, Consumer
and Corporate affairs Min-
ister James Neilson said
recently.

Nielsen, who is respon-
tlle for liquor control, licen-
sing and distribution, said
that recent studies show that
drinkers in their late teens

na early 20s had their
fea taste of alcohol when
they were only 14. The
foajority of drinkers started
imbibing at age 16.
* Problem drinkers —
whom Nielsen described as
people who consume alcohol
to excess at least 10 per cent
of the time — started drink-
ing at an even earlier age, 13.

Nielsen pointed out that
these 18, 14 and 16-year-olds
are not being served in liquor
stores or in licensed prem-
ises. He said they are obtain-
ing alcohol from their homes
or from older friends and
acquaintances,

Few people questioned
said they supply liquor to
their children for parties.
However, one in three of the
problem drinkers admit they
supply alcohol to their under-
age children.

And minors who are
close enough to the legal
drinking age to pass as adults
are causing problems in
licensed establishments, said
Nielsen. Last year, charges
against minors who purchas-
ed liquor or consumed it in
licensed premises were up 52
per cent, to an all-time high
of 4,008.

Turning to the popu-
lation as a whole, Nielsen
said that almost 90 per cent
of the adults in British
Columbia drink. He said that
the vast majority consumes
liquor moderately and in-
frequently. But approximat-
ely ‘11 percent of B.C.
drinkers are in the “problem”
category, and cause social
problems that affect every-
une in the province.

On other alcohol-related

topics, the minister said that,
research shows:

The majority of people
favour the concept. of neigh-
borhood pubs, but few want
them in their own neighbor-
hoods, saying pubs are too
noisy and there are already
enough drinking places.

Only four per cent are
eritical about the govern-
ment monopoly on liquor

National Museums

of Canada

The National Museums
of Canada's National Inven-
tory Program, a network of
82 computer terminal instal-
lations across Canada, con-
tains information on over one
million artifacts and works of
art in Canadian public mu-
seums and galleries,

In the last year, the
number of museums parti-
cipating in the system grew
from 69 to 152. The regis-
tering of museum collections
on computer is part of the

sales; but a majority of
people favor the concept of
private, outlets selling beer
and wine. Only one in four
think that distilled spirits
should be sold in private
outlets,

Forty per cent of the
population have a drink out-
side their homes at least once
a week. Restaurants are the
most likely place for that
drink, and beer parlors, the:
next most common spot. Onc
jn five British Columbians
buys liquor froma govern-
ment liquor store at least
once a week,

Heavy drinkers most

likely to lose control of their:

habit tend to be males, aged
18 - 24, earning more than
$20,000 a year, and working
either full or part-time. They
spend more than $50 a month
on alcohol.

Seven in 10 people say
they know someone with a
drinking problem, but only a
patie believe they can do

ada's mandate to preserve
the country's heritage and

legacy.

The 4-Wheel Drive
Passenger

A ride comparable to a 2-wheel drive passenger car, is
accomplished by the use of independent front suspension. :

Ideal for the person who is attracted to the 4x4 idea, but not to
the vehicles that are available. Great for snowy weather, daily
activities that occasionally place you into 4x4 terrain and still sporty -
enough to be used as your regular family vehicle. ‘The added
traction of full-time 4-wheel drive gives the nue a stable feeling,
especially in corners
