So there's little wonder that teenagers can be eager to join the club.

Join Susie and Rachel as we combine the advice of experts, and our own experience, to tackle these problems.Interesting articles:The effect of peer pressure on drinking in Denmark: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/16066350600691683Books: Alcohol Nation by Dr Aric SigmanLove Bombing by Oliver JamesHow to talk so your kids will listen, how to listen so your kids will talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.Definition of Binge Drinking: The Royal College of Psychiatrists clearly defines binge drinking as drinking over 2.5 standard 175ml glasses of wine (6 units) for a fully-grown adult woman or 3.5 glasses for a man (8 units), in a short space of time.
