There is no recommended safe drinking limit for young people and if they excessively drink this may lead to health problems, including: alcohol poisoning, brain damage, memory loss, irregular periods, skin problems and weight gain. Young people who drink alcohol are more likely to get involved in crime and anti-social behaviour, or be the victims of crime, put themselves in danger, or have unprotected sex.
A coordinated approach to alcohol was taken through the safer schools community in Dorset. Using a theatre company to engage 13 to 14 year olds, the company acted out scenarios to interact with the audience in problem solving.
