Guidance on the consumption of alcohol by children and young people. A report by the Chief Medical Officer (17th December 2009)
In April 2008 the Chief Medical Officer was asked by the Secretaries of State for Health and for Children, Schools and Families to prepare guidance on the consumption of alcohol by children and young people.

This guidance was published initially in draft form as part of a consultation on advice and information for children, young people and alcohol, being facilitated in England by the Department for Children, Schools and Families. The findings from this consultation have been collated and utilised in the development of this final version of the Chief Medical Officer’s guidance.

Off Measure: How we underestimate the amount we drink (18th December 2009)
A new analysis, carried out by Liverpool John Moores University, finds that the discrepancy between alcohol surveys calculating consumption and actual alcohol sales equals 430 million units a week. This is the equivalent of a bottle of wine per adult drinker per week going unaccounted for in the UK.
