Children as young as five are to get lessons on the dangers of alcohol in an attempt to tackle Britain's growing binge-drinking epidemic.
From primary school onwards, youngsters nationwide will be taught about the harmful effects of alcohol, the influence of advertising and safe drinking levels.
Parents are also to receive training in talking to their children about alcohol and how to set limits for them, under guidance from the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (Nice).
