Binge drinking - the effects on YOU

- Do you binge drink?
- Have you any idea of the problems it can cause you?

Research shows that the younger a person is when they start to drink, the greater their risk of alcohol-related problems later in life.
Q. I’m 16 and I’m going to a party next week. Am I allowed to buy beer to take to the party?
A. Legally, no. At 16 you can buy beer with a meal in the restaurant or room used for meals in a pub or hotel.
When you drink alcohol you are more likely to have an accident, get into arguments or do something stupid.
