Interesting Fact - Alcohol

According to a series of reports on adolescent health behaviour, published in the Lancet, British teenagers are among the worst in the world when it comes to drinking.

(One in five adolescents was found to binge drink on a weekly basis in the same high-income countries.

England ranked fourth out of 40 high-income countries for the number of 13-year-olds who had been drunk. Wales came fifth and Scotland was eighth.

Having lived in Scotland at the age of 21, I'm amazed they were only eighth.)
