British teenagers rank among worst in world for binge drinking, a major international report will disclose later this week.
A study, by the World Health Organisation, will show that more young people in Britain have been drunk at a young age than in most other developed countries.
The figures, published every couple of years and to be released on Wednesday, look at the intake of alcohol and drugs, and the sexual behaviour, of young teenagers in 41 countries across the world.
