BIG INCREASE IN DRUNKEN 10–YEAR–OLDS WHO NEED AN AMBULANCE London Ambulance Service figures today reveal that the number of 10– and 11–year–olds requiring medical treatment for alcohol abuse has more than doubled in the past two years. The figures come as health groups called for restrictions on cheap alcohol after it was revealed that youngsters could get drunk for half the price of a bar of chocolate. Campaigners called on the Government to tackle the "plague" of illness caused by cheap alcoholic drinks after an investigation found that strong cider was available in city supermarkets for as little as 10p a unit. Former chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson has recommended that parents should not let children under 15 drink
alcohol. But many young people are consuming an average of 15 units a week, the equivalent of a pint of beer every day. A report by Alcohol Concern and the Children's Society reveals that parents who drink to excess might also be influencing their children. At least 2.6 million children in the UK now live with parents drinking "hazardously".
