The study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a leading economic think tank, found that 33 per cent of all 13- and 15-year-olds in the UK had got drunk at least twice.

This is the highest drunkenness rate of any of the industrialised countries in the study. By contrast, only 12 per cent of young American teenagers reported having been drunk twice in the data taken from schools in 2005-06.
