Scots need to overcome unhealthy drinking

Children in Scotland have written a testimony to the Scottish Parliament’s Health and Sport Committee highlighting three issues that cause drinking problems in Scotland:  1) Exposure to alcohol in foetal position (these adults are at risk far greater than non-affected adults);  2) Coping with negative experiences during childhood or adolescence such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence, homelessness etc; and 3) Lack of activities for teenagers.  Read the testimony here.
