Rehab News:Fewer UK schoolchildren drinking alcohol

The proportion of schoolchildren who drink alcohol is falling, according to a new survey by the Information Centre.

Researchers found that the number of pupils who said that they had never consumed stood at 45 per cent last year, up from 39 per cent in 2003.

Tim Straughan, acting chief executive at the Information Centre, said that the report provides key information to enable a better understanding of schoolchildren and parents' attitudes towards drinking.

"The report shows that more schoolchildren are choosing a cleaner lifestyle and are abstaining from drink and drugs. This is good news for the health of young people."

However, the survey also discovered that those schoolchildren who do consume alcohol tend to drink more than in previous years.

Average weekly consumption among drinkers had risen from 10.4 units in 2000 to 11.4 units in 2006, with the greatest increase in consumption taking place in the 11 to 13 age group.

One in five secondary schoolchildren also admitted to being drunk at least once during the four weeks leading up to the survey.

Mr Straughan continued: "The figures also reveal that drinking, drugs and smoking continue to play an important role in the lives of a significant number of young people and that there may be links between these behaviours and truancy rates.

"We hope that government, NHS, schools, and others with a role to play in improving the health of young people will find these survey results useful both as indictors of progress and to help inform future work in these areas."
