PANIC IN THE STREETS!

[andrewducker]

The head of the Scottish prosecution service has announced that Scotland faced a "real apocalypse" unless it "gets to grips" with over-consumption.*

And underneath that, on the same page of the BBC News it's announced that in the last 9 years the number of under-15-year-olds drinking alcohol once per week has dropped by a third.**

So, which is it? Are the teens drinking more and apocalypsing*** in the streets? Or are they actually better behaved than at any other time in history?

My point about the legal drinking age is that both stories could be true, the 18 year olds (and older) being both allowed to buy drinks and also having the real incomes to do so, unlike the under 15s that study was based on. An eighteen year old is a lot different beast to a fourteen year old.
