A survey was conducted among teenagers aged 13-19 about binge drinking. The results showed that around half of respondents drink alcohol, primarily at parties with friends. Common reasons for drinking included peer pressure and boredom. While preventative campaigns and school lectures aim to raise awareness, legal actions against public drinking and drunk driving could be stricter according to the conclusions.

14. WHAT IS BEING DONE

and town council, on TV, at schools, through
brochures, etc. to raise awareness.

topic.
• People get fined by binge-drinking in the
street or by driving drunk.

15. CONCLUSIONS
• Children begin to drink early.
• Alcohol is easy to get, although this could be
solved by applying the law.
• Approx. half of the teenagers we interviewed
drink when they go out with friends.
• Teenagers drink because friends do, because
they get bored or because they just like it.
• Parents not always know the problem.
• Legal actions should be stricter.
