searched about what is being done by the
government and town council.

14. WHAT IS BEING DONE
• Preventive campaigns by the government
and town council, on TV, at schools, through
brochures, etc. to raise awareness.
• Students attend lectures and talks on this
topic.
• People get fined by binge-drinking in the
street or by driving drunk.

15. CONCLUSIONS
• Children begin to drink early.
• Alcohol is easy to get, although this could be
solved by applying the law.
• Approx. half of the teenagers we interviewed
drink when they go out with friends.
• Teenagers drink because friends do, because
they get bored or because they just like it.
• Parents not always know the problem.
• Legal actions should be stricter.
