These 3 charts show Britain's young people are giving up alcohol
Young people in the UK are drinking less and less booze, according to data released by the Office for National Statistics.
Twenty-percent of 16-24 year olds said they were teetotallers in 2013, the latest year the ONS gives data for. That's the highest proportion in eight years and the same percentage of non-alcohol drinkers as in the 65 and over age group.
The proportion of young people binge drinking, i.e. drinking a lot of alcohol in one session, is also falling steadily as shown by the graph below.
Binge drinking among young people was a major issue in the mid-2000s but efforts to crackdown on it and educate people on its dangers appear to have worked.
Finally, the percentage of 16-24 year olds drinking frequently, which means drinking on five or more days a week, is also falling.
