Pediatricians Advocate Breath Tests for Minors at Festivals: 'Alcohol is a Major Problem'
Prominent pediatricians Nico van der Lely and Gijs van Well support mandatory breath tests for underage visitors at festivals to combat alcohol normalization and reduce intoxication incidents. While experts like Tom Bart from Jellinek acknowledge the measure's value, they emphasize that additional actions are needed, such as limiting alcohol promotion and preventing over-pouring for adults. Ninette van Hasselt from Trimbos suggests creating alcohol-free environments, but festival organizers report that controls have successfully reduced alcohol-related disturbances among youth.
