RCP President Reponds To New ONS Figures Suggesting That School Pupils Are More Likely To Drink Alcohol If They Live With Other Drinkers, UK

Responding to data in Smoking, drinking and drug use among young people in England, 2008 that suggests the likelihood of a pupil drinking alcohol increases with the number of drinkers per household, Professor Ian Gilmore, President of the Royal College of Physicians said: "These figures show very clearly that we need to tackle teenage drinking from every possible angle.

In a sense this cuts to the heart of what we mean when we talk about our drinking culture.
