Alcohol is available in the United Kingdom for a few cents, means that children can get drunk on 50 cent-the cost of half a candy bar.
It is a shocking statistic and what has made the news.
Some stores in the United Kingdom are selling alcohol to just 10 pence per unit (about 14 cents) .the British Government recommends a daily limit of 2-3 units of alcohol for women and 3-4 men. There is no limit safe for minors.
Researchers who have discovered this were from core city health collaborative software, said the spokesperson Deborah Evans:
Young men and women can buy their maximum recommended weekly alcohol for the price of a coffee latte economic small or magazine.Meanwhile, the true cost of alcohol is picked up by taxpayers in the form of soaring hospital admissions, crime and anti-social behaviour.
Underage drinking is a growing problem, threatening the health of children. the Government intends to bring a minimum cost per unit of alcohol, to avoid that children (and adults vulnerable) getting so much alcohol so cheaply.
Alcohol can kill: nor by a binge that ends in tragedy, or long-term drink that accumulates health problems. don't let prices of candy-bar make you think that it's okay to drink excessively-you will be able to pay the price in many other ways.
