BLISS INVESTIGATES BOOZE

Drinking may seem fun, but its after-effects can be a lot worse than a hangover. So how much is too much?

But while on holiday, at a caravan park in north Wales, 15-year-old Lindsay downed half a bottle of vodka and passed out. Twelve hours later she died from heart failure. One of her friends was treated for alcohol poisoning.

(3) Government figures reveal more teenagers are drinking than ever before. They're also starting at a younger age. One survey estimates that 13 year olds are drinking eight unites of alcohol (that's four pints of lager or eight glasses of wine or spirits) a week.
