Underage drinking

Filed under: Uncategorized

Underage drinking, a growing problem and something that now worries many people around the country.  However, there is one thing to add to all of the uproar in the media and that is quite simply that underage drinking has always existed.  How else do people start drinking?  Similar to smoking, if you have not drunk by eighteen, you are probably unlikely to start now.  But underage drinking, despite the public order bans and ASBO’s have become more prevalent in Britain.  So what is the difference between now and say ten years ago?

Sugar.  Or more accurately, Alcopops.  Traditional drinks such as beer or wine have quite a strong flavour to them, so are an acquired taste.  The traditional kiddies choice cider, is also pungent and often resulted in a lot of sick moments.  But with the equivalent of lemonade now sold in shops and pubs, it is a lot easier for young people to swallow.  And more importantly, to get hooked at an earlier age.

But would the drinks companies stop making such products? At last progress on the site.Check out the design on the microsclerotherapy clinic part
