Majority of 13 year olds have drunk alcohol

Parents are culpable in the fact that most 13 year olds in England and Wales have drunk alcohol, according to home secretary Jacqui Smith said

Underage drinking was a worrying trend and had reached a "worrying tipping point", she said.

The government plans to extend parenting contracts to mothers and fathers of tearaways to include for children who have been found drinking alcohol; parents could also receive a £1,000 fine or a community sentence if they ignore the parenting contract.

Her figure of 350,000 13-year-old drinkers is more than half of the 13-year-old population of England and Wales during 2006, which was 690,000, according to Office for National Statistics data.

"Nearly half of the alcohol obtained by young people appears to come from the family home," she said.

"The idea that you can hand your kids a six-pack of lager and tell them to disappear for the evening with no thought to the consequences is frankly baffling to me."
