Tackling Under-Age Drinking in Europe: Towards a Comprehensive EU-Wide Partnership. 13 April 2011, Brussels

Whilst overall alcohol consumption by adults is decreasing in Europe, there has been a steady rise in harmful drinking patterns, particularly amongst younger people. Unless policymakers across Europe act quickly, this alarming trend in under-age drinking and binge drinking will have adverse long term effects on young people's lives and future development.

This timely International Symposium will gather comparative experience and best practices in early intervention strategies based around young people and their families, and tackle other key consequences of under-age drinking such as anti-social behaviour and drink-driving.
