Childhood should be "alcohol-free", according to England's chief medical officer. Sir Liam Donaldson says the medical advice shows it is safest for under-15s not to drink. The BBC Three documentary 'Vodka, Homework & Me' has followed 11-year-old Reece and Charlie, 15, over the last three months as they try to give up drinking and overcome its damaging effects.The World Health Organisation has identified excessive alcohol use as one of the most important risks to health and Britain has the fourth highest levels of underage drinking in Europe. The North West of England has the highest number of underage drinkers in the country. The latest statistics show that 90% of 15-16 year old school children drink alcohol.
