Alcohol is available in the UK for just cents, which means that children can get drunk on 50 cent-the cost of half a bar with sweets.

It is shocking statistics and which is made headline news.

Some stores in the UK are selling for just 10 pence unit (about 15 cents). the UK Government recommended a daily limit of 2-3 units for women and men's 3-4. There is no safe limit for under-18s.

Researchers, which detects the cities were improving joint health and spokesperson Deborah Evans has said this:

Young men and women to buy recommended their maximum weekly benefit for the price of small latte coffee or cheap magazine.In the meantime, the true costs of alcohol shall be picked up by the taxpayers in the form of pokacvasite is hospital admission to official listing, crime and antisocialno behaviour.

Underage drinking is a growing problem, endanger the health of children, the UK Government intends to start at the minimum cost per unit of alcohol to prevent children (and vulnerable adults) receive so much alcohol so cheaply.

Alcohol can kill: or alcohol, that ends in tragedy, or long-term drinking built health problems. don't let candy bar prices to think that it is OK to drink excessively-you will pay a price in many other ways.
