The legal drinking age in Iceland is 20 and according to a new survey, very few parents have bought alcohol for their under-age kids. 

The majority  of parents of teenagers aged 16- 18 are in favour of using alcohol and drug monitors at high school gatherings and also in favour of using drug detection dogs in high schools. 

92% of parents, according to the survey are against underage drinking. 

The survey was conducted by SAMAN, an association which aims to get parents to spend more quality time with their teenage children and thus decrease the risk of teenagers using drugs and alcohol.
