Binge drinking among young Europeans: German and Dutch prevention programs.

In Germany and the Netherlands, a growing number of young and very young people are engaging in binge drinking. Struck by these young people’s lack of awareness of the risks, German professionals are raising awareness and providing care for young people admitted to emergency rooms for alcohol poisoning.
