mouth, throat, stomach, liver and breast cancers; high blood pressure,

Malcolm:
In 2009, about 10.4 million young people between ages 12 and 20 drank
more than just a few sips of alcohol. As kids get older, they drink more.
By the age of 15, half of teens have had at least one drink. By age 18,
more than 70% of teens have had at least one drink. 5,000 people under
age 21 die each year from alcohol-related car crashes, homicides,
suicides, alcohol poisoning, and other injuries such as falls, burns, and
drowning, with More than 190,000 people under age 21 visited an
emergency room for alcohol-related injuries in 2008 alone.
Richard:
Buying alcohol under the age of 18 can cost you a fixed penalty of 40 or
up to 1000 if you go to court. Buying alcohol for a person under 18
carries an 80 fixed penalty. A survey of 16 to 24 year olds showed that
after drinking alcohol: 1 in 7 had unprotected sex. 1 in 5 had sex they
regretted. 1 in 10 were unable to recall whether they had sex or not. 4 in
10 say they are more likely to have sex. In 2003 there were 580 fatalities
and 2600 serious injuries on the road where at least 1 driver was over the
limit.
