Information for under 18s
Hi there. You’ve been redirected to Drinkaware's website because you are under 18 years of age. We are a charity that aims to change the UK’s drinking habits for the better.
In the UK, it is illegal for under 18s to buy alcohol from an off licence or bar area of a pub, and adults are not allowed to buy you alcohol either.
The way your body handles drink depends on your physical size and stage of development. If you’re an inexperienced drinker you probably don't know how getting drunk will affect you or how to cope. And you could be more vulnerable to accidents and injuries, as well as the dangers of alcohol poisoning.
