Parents in the UK have been warned against the dangerous consequences that could stem from under age alcohol consumption, as British parents do not seem to be bothered by their kids boozing.

Many parents do not think drinking alcohol was of major concern to their children"s safety.

Children's Secretary Ed Balls said that mums and dads should be aware of the link between alcohol consumption and the impact it can have on a young adults.

Young people who regularly drink alcohol are more likely to fall behind in school, get involved in road traffic accidents or have unsafe sex.

Parents themselves should be aware of the harmful consequences and stop their children from drinking before they are completely mature to do so.
