Police and liquor authorities are cracking down on boozy school after-ball parties, with new hardline plans to stop students from taking buses to secret locations.

The new approach comes after a number of after-balls turned sour last year and 15 others were cancelled because of concerns over drunken behaviour.

The after-balls - often all-you-can drink events for which tickets are sold - are usually held in warehouses.

    "I went to my seventh form ball last year, and the main focus of the night was on 'getting wasted' at after-parties. As a non-drinker, I am saddened that my peers need alcohol to have a good time."
  3. young drinker says
    "Students are going to find a way to drink. You cannot stop this. They will simply ask a friend of a friend or elder brother or sister."
