Minors In Hotels
Sir, —Mr Hanan, at the recent Justices of the Peace meeting raised some provocative ideas on the seriousness
of minors in hotels. New Zealand is one of the few remaining “civilised” countries with “primitive” licensing laws which serve no real purpose. Surely it is better for 18-to-21-year-olds to drink openly in hotels, where they can to some extent be controlled, rather than sip furtively in some dark car park, as so many do. From 18 years onwards most of “us” have patronised hotels regularly and have never drawn discredit upon ourselves. Even some of our usually law-abid-ing parents have accompanied us on occasions. Needless to say, we have never been refused service ar threatened by the usually tolerant man in blue. Mr Hanan raised the
question of attitude. “We de-: finitely do not regard ourselves as wrongdoers.”—Yours.! 20-YEAR-OLD STUDENT. March 7, 1966.
