Binge Drinking - The Consequences C4 News Article

Liver failure among young people is soaring as a consequence of binge drinking. But are teenagers aware of the dangers of drinking? My niece Stacey passed away on May 22nd aged 24. Whilst Stacey was in hospital Channel 4 approached her to take part in a news report/ mini-documentary about alcohol and the affects it is having on youngsters today. Staceys family (and hopefully the other families involved) want as many people to see this as possible to get the message across to other children and parents. We do not have enough help and support out there for these young people and more needs to be done, we have an epidemic on the horizon. We hope this helps at least one youngster or family.Please be aware that there are images that some may find upsetting or disturbing. Many Thanks for watching. To view the full unedited version with the studio Q & A please visit Channel 4 news.This was originally broadcast as part of the evening Channel4 news bulletin on 25th June 2008. Our thanks go out to Film-maker/journalist Kate Taunton, Channel4 and Minnow Films ' http://www.minnowfilms.co.uk/'...

I run an alcohol support group, as somebody who is lucky to be alive after 25 years of struggling with alcoholism I can not stress how strongly we need to get the message across to young people that alcohol is as dangerous as any other drug.

Please keep passing the video onto everyone you know, it could help someone, possibly save a life, Stacey has helped and guided many people since making this video, her voice is being heard all over the world, and together we can all make a difference.

Broxtowe Youth Council are a group of young eople who are trying to get a Teenage Alcohol Unit at the Queens Med. This would be a detox, treatment,advice,signposting,counsellors, youth/drug workers to work with the med team.Whatever that young person or parent needs for help! Staceys family are behind them everyway and we hope you are too.This may be needed for you, your mate or a family member. Alcohol is no respector of anyone!
