Drinking

Not all young male New Zealanders act the way they did in the film, this can be a stereotype of some people out in the world, not all people drink to the point they are so intoxicated they can't walk, talk or drive if so there will always be the one sober driver so everyone get homes safely. They like to go out with the boys and drink and hit on girls. They looked of age as because they could order themselves drinks and they could also drive. There where many different cultures in the film there where some Maori people and they are betrayed as a violent out going drinkers which is a stereotype people give them. Everyone should know how to handle there drinking and how much they intake. There always needs to be a sober driver.

In the film it looks as if everyone was drinking because most of them had cans or bottles in their hands. It makes the young adults look irresponsible and all they want to do is drink. Most of them are either Maori or Pacific islander which makes a bad reputation and look on them. There was one female that was shown and the rest where male. They where all of age because they had to buy the drinks and one of them was going to drive home which then lead one of his mates to speak up and to crash at the house for the night.
