Underage drinking continues to be an issue across Europe, with Scotland being among the highest. This infographic explores the consumption rates of Scottish teens in comparison to the rest of Europe and the increasingly worrying consequences of these behaviours.

Within this infographic, there is a particular focus on the drinking behaviours of 13 and 15-year-olds. The Scottish government has put a strong focus on this age group and found a particularly worrying rise among this age range.

But there has been a change in alcohol policy within Scotland over the last 18 years and this infographic also lays out these changes and the impact underage drinking can have on their bodies. And finally, the infographic examines the change Christmas has on parents attitudes towards their children and alcohol.
