OK some folk wil misuse the ID but then just look at all the misuse that goes on already with fake cards, etc.
Agree with Joxville ref the Cards being used to spy on people. Lets face it we have more CCTV cameras per head than almost anyone else and it doesnt seem to do much except make reality TV. As for ID Cards its just a big con in my eyes and wont stop anything as I'll bet there will be fakes within weeks of them arriving (if they ever do), Ive never considered myself a "tinfoil hat wearer" but sometimes the level of monitoring that this goverment wants to go for makes me uneasy.
As for the "underage binge drinking" the best deterrent for that comes form the parents (and I speak as one) it isnt the Goverments job to control and discipine kids .. its ours.
If life gives you lemons squeeze the juice into a water pistol and shoot people in the eyes with it.
