Despite the stricter legislation last year again more children end up with alcohol poisoning in the hospital, 545 to be exact. And comazuiper is increasingly a girl.
Never before have so many children treated for alcohol poisoning. According to Dutch Signaling Center Pediatrics increased the number of alcohol-related hospital admissions of children last year by 25 percent.
According to pediatrician Nico van der Lely of the Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft, the increase was mainly caused by the extremely young drinkers. ,, Increasingly it comes to 13 and 14 year olds. With an ever higher BAC alcohol in their blood. But why this group is going to drink more, we have to examine. ”
Effect
For the first time Dutch Signaling Center Pediatrics began in 2007 with the registration alcohol intoxication among young people, there are more girls than boys included. “Tutte Bells,” Van der Lely calls them. ,, Young girls of 14 years who pretend they are much older. They easily get alcohol from bystanders. But those girls can not oversee all the consequences. ”
Despite the increase in the number comazuipers Van der Lely does not think that the government policy to discourage alcohol consumption among young people, has failed. ,, You can in such a short time barely measure impact. ”
