Are High Alcohol Prices to Blame for Increased Drug Use? PDF Print E-mail
According to an Oct. 19 article by Lauren Zwaans and Ben Harvy of the Australian news website Adelaide Now, alcoholic drinks at many area clubs are so expensive that teenagers are turning to drugs -- and drug dealers are making the most of it:
Cheap illegal drugs bought at a fraction of the cost of nightclub alcohol are luring teenage partygoers into the dangers of substance abuse, experts warn. ...

Some clubs are charging premium admission prices to compensate for lost alcohol sales. ...
Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia director of drug monitoring Jason White said the exploitation by dealers of the gap between the price of alcohol and illegal drugs was concerning. "The relative cost of alcohol at some venues compared to the cost of an ecstasy tablet means that some people regard ecstasy as a better way to spend their money," he said.
Club owners told Adelaide Now they’ve also noted increases in the use of cocaine and LSD.
