Up to 1.3m children Leading cause of disease and injury Lowers resistance to disease One in four adults Most commonly used drug Girls more likely to binge drink If you allow people to drink for longer An epidemic of harm Once people get a drink inside Too cheap, too readily available Violence, every violent offence Half of 15-year-olds One in four children Children of addicted parents 1.2m incidents of violence Are you positive? Failure to tackle growing problem Risky behaviour

Alcohol is too cheap, too readily available and too strong. Young people cannot handle it. I would like to see the legal drinking age raised to 21 and the price of alcohol raised, particularly higher-strength beers.

(Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of Cheshire)

Organization for non-drinkers

Having previously been founded in the United States, the Order of the Sons of Temperance of Great Britain and Ireland was instituted in 1855. Thus for over a century and a half the Sons of Temperance, as a Friendly Society, has had an outstanding record of service in providing life insurance and savings schemes exclusively for non-drinkers.

If you are a past or present member of the Sons of Temperance (or the Cadets of Temperance), or are a non-drinker, or share a concern over society's problems caused by alcohol we'd love to hear from you.
