You might think that you know all the laws about alcohol, i am sure that you know that its illegal for anybody under the age of 18 to buy alcohol but did you know:

its an offence for anybody under 18 to ATTEMPT to buy alcohol.

its an offence for an adult (somebody over 18) to buy alcohol for somebody under 18.

if somebody tries to do this they can be forced to pay a fine of up to £1000.

You might think that alcohol is a cool substance to be associated with but are you aware of the side effects and consequences of excessive drinking. I bet you didnt knowit is estimated that excess alcohol consumption causes 28,000 deaths each year in England and Wales. This doesnt include that other effects that excess alcohol can bring, liver damage, heart disease and other long and short term effects.

Many young people dont realise the serious consequences of alcohol, many of them dont realise that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a physical dependency similar to that of a heroin addiction.For further information relating to alcohol take a look in our links section or even better you can click on this text and take a look at what else Jonny Long Life has to say.
