Young people aged 16-25 in Great Britain are three times more likely to start drinking alcohol than no- and low-alcohol alternatives (62% vs 17%), while less than one in five (18%) have never tried either, according to new research from the University of Sheffield and University College London. The study, funded by Alcohol Change UK, is the first in the UK to explore the role of no- and low-alcohol drinks (no/lows) – such as alcohol-free or low-alcohol spirits, beers and wines – in young people’s lives.
