BBC News - Parents giving children alcohol 'fuels binge drinking'
I dont personally agree with him on a strict rule of zero alcohol below 15 - I think this tends to add to the allure and increases the risk of binge drinking in the future.
I'm not even convinced this is a health issue rather than a social one - it certainly has health implications but the social issues are much tougher to solve.
I think tackling it as a health issue is a copout tbh.
You only have to look to the continent to see how exposure to alcohol from a young age does not lead to binge drinking so its not the determining factor.
What do you lot think?
