The Youth Alcohol Action Plan

There is growing public concern about how much alcohol young people drink in their teenage years. The evidence set out in this Action Plan, which was promised in the Children's Plan, shows the extent of the problem.

Young people who drink too much put their own health at risk, and are more likely to get involved in anti-social behavior and contribute to crime. To tackle these problems, we need to work closely with parents, schools, health services and the police.
