By the age of 12, drinkers start to outnumber non-drinkers
Britain should consider making the legal drinking age 21 as it has "lost the plot" when it comes to regulating alcohol, policy pundits claim.
The UK has one of the worst problems in Europe with a fifth of children aged 11 to 15 drinking at least once a week.
Public Policy Research (PPR), the journal of the IPPR think-tank, says it is time to practise "tough love", such as reviewing the minimum drinking age.
With anti social behavior seemingly on the increase and violence from young people on adults hitting the headlines do you think this raising the min age is a good idea?
