According to a report, British girls are the biggest teenage binge drinkers in the western world. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) figures were published in “Through the Looking Glass”. These results came from a poll for British females aged sixteen to nineteen. It found 84% were anxious about being able to secure the job they wanted in the future, with 81% worried about doing well in exams. Among respondents 16% were not very happy, while 64% were quite happy most of the time and 17% felt very happy. The poll results also feature topics like money, the future, love and education.

I think the alcohol results are very shocking. I wonder if the British girls are actually aware of the dangers of alcohol. The reason I chose this article is because our research project in Scotland for UKOK! will be about alcohol and youth as well. It would be very interesting to feature this article in our project. The other results don’t really surprise me; these are just more or less the same as in the Netherlands.
