Rehab News: Teen binge-drinkers putting themselves at risk

Teenage binge-drinkers are more likely to experience alcohol problems as adults, new research has found.

A new study by the Institute of Child Health involving 11,000 children found that binge-drinkers were 60 per cent more likely to be an alcoholic by the age of 30 and nearly twice as likely to have a criminal conviction.

The study also revealed that binge-drinking teens were 40 per cent more likely to use drugs or suffer from mental health problems.

Lead researcher Dr Russell Viner told the BBC: "Adolescent binge-drinking is a risk behaviour associated with significant later adversity and social exclusion."

However, a government spokesman insisted that steps are being taken to reduce the harm caused by young people drinking, including cracking down on irresponsible retailers and reducing underage alcohol sales.

"Alcohol education now has a higher profile in schools across the country and is a major part of the national curriculum," he added.
