"..A three-year-old child who was treated in hospital for addiction to alcohol is thought to be Britain's youngest ever alcoholic, health officials said Monday.

The youngster was one of 13 people under the age of 12 who were diagnosed as alcoholics by the state-run National Health Service (NHS) in central England between 2008 and 2010.

Health officials declined to give details of the three-year-old's condition or disclose the toddler's identity due to patient confidentiality rules.

An NHS spokeswoman said: "We treat alcohol abuse very seriously, and have specialist teams and experts on hand who are there to treat young patients with alcohol-related problems."

The news, revealed by the NHS after a request under Freedom of Information laws, highlights Britain's uphill struggle to curb its heavy-drinking culture.

It came on the same day that leading health groups blasted a government initiative on alcohol which involves asking drinks firms to sign up to pledges to cut binge and underage drinking.

The groups, including the British Medical Association and the charity Alcohol Concern, accused the health ministry of letting the drinks industry dictate policy and condemned the pledges as neither specific nor measurable.

People should need to license to breed. Who the hell lets their 3 year old develop a DRINKING PROBLEM?!

Well I know 3 year olds who will pick up their dad's beer bottles, cans and sip at it. Most hate the taste but at that age the tend to be curious. I can see a 3 year old having tasted liquor. But having had such exposure that they have a "drinking problem" is insane.

Thwarting a 3 year old's attempt to nab mommy or daddy's drink should be pretty easy and include such efforts as... putting things on tables and out of reach. You know, like we do with matches, sharp things and choking hazards.

Fake id? :\




For serious though, I don't understand how a parent could let this happen....
