This Is Not A Joke

Filed under: Anglophilia > Wacky, Tacky & True

babydrinkingbeer.jpg

Last year, nearly 175 underage drinkers were admitted and treated in Britain's Hull Royal Infirmary for drinking related illnesses.

Now, a CHILD has been admitted to the hospital with a drinking problem. A CHILD!!!

A SIX year old child (not the infant pictured above)!

How could the parents let this happen??????

The director of public health for the Hull Royal Infirmary, Wendy Richardson, said: "I can't comment on individual cases, but I'm shocked as any responsible person would be."

The six year old will be joining other young drinkers who are being treated for similar alcohol addiction problems.

A report was released regarding the drinking habits of people 25 and under in the area. Around 500 people were questioned about their drinking habits.

Surprisingly, the findings showed that up to 95% of those questioned are drinking at a harmful level. And more than a fifth had their parents buy them alcohol.

Damn, we knew those Brits could outdrink them Americans, but - as Mariah would say - this is O.O.C. (Out Of Control, babies)!

    This tends to affect children from a lower socioeconomic status. With parents who are abusing alcohol and or drugs themselves, not to mention their children, it is no wonder that a child may follow by example. Children are easily influenced and don't know the implications drugs and alcohol can have in terms of long-term effects. Often times children from difficult homes lash out in violence, and develop substance abuse problems. The fact that 1/5 of parents supplied their children with alcohol clearly points to a lack of education and responsibility that needs to be addressed. It is surprising that it is happening at such a young age, however the problem is cyclical and there needs to be more social funding and awareness.

    Unfortunatly Britain isn't as stringent with their alcohol laws and the legal age to drink is 18 so any children who look older for their age regularly hit the off licence to purchase cheap alcopops. The age should be risen to 21 with all kids having ID cards.

    Mind you, I remember back in the day when my mum would let me have a small glass of wine - I had a dreadful headache the day Elvis died. Also, I actually learnt how to walk when I drank some of her sherry whilst she was in the kitchen making dinner - the next day I was crawling again. I literally was, staggering around drunk.

    Re: Kas
    Society doesn't need more "social funding and awareness." We need to make prospective parents take a fucking exam, and sterilize about half of the world's population.

    I don't see where you can make that statement with the information given, that Brits are bigger drinkers then Americans. You have no idea how many underage kids here are alcoholics, do you? Until you know that, that's a false statement.

    Primarily because everyone knows Americans can outdrink anyone.

    My first cousin is from England and he started drinking very young. He had to drop out of college coz of his drinking. He's be passed out in the floor around a shitload of people and pull his pants down and just take a shit while passed out and while people where standing there getting drunk. Alcohol is the worst drug. That's why the govt. let's us have it..so they can make money off of our stupid ass.

    Of course people of lower socioeconomic status can afford to drink as much as they do , after all its only the people that live on state benefits here that have money .

    As a mother of a 16-year old I find this disturbing. The parents are responsible for a 6-year olds drinking problem. Whether it's in the States of Great Britain is not the issue, what is the issue is the irresponsibility on the part of that poor child's parents
