Teenagers in the UK and Ireland are among the worst in Europe when it comes to getting drunk, a long-term study by the World Health Organisation has found. However, the rates, while still dangerously high, have fallen considerably.
Falls in harmful drinking across Europe have been greatest in countries with the highest prevalence, which includes those in the Nordic region, according to a report in yesterday's Guardian.
Ireland is currently legislating to put warning labels on alcohol drinks.
After much confusion as to whether or not the warning label should include the link between alcohol and cancer, it has now been decided to include the cancer risk on the labelling, something strongly advocated by Dr John Crown.
