Parents should always keep alcohol out of their children’s reach
To gain some insight into this situation, we got in touch with Andrew Misell, Director for Wales at Alcohol Change UK. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss some of the biggest risks of minors having access to alcohol.
“One reason we have a legal purchase age of 18 for alcohol in the UK is that young people’s bodies are still growing and developing, and alcohol can cause long-lasting damage to a body that is not fully-grown,” he noted.
“Alcohol will also have more effect on someone the smaller they are. So, children can become intoxicated much more easily than adults, and are at much higher risk of alcohol poisoning, which is sometimes fatal,” the expert explained.
“The UK’s Chief Medical Officers say that an alcohol-free childhood is best,” Andrew continued. “That means no alcohol until at least 15 years of age; only very small amounts between the ages of 15 and 18, and never more than once a week.”
