British girls outdrink boys — and most of Europe

Teenage girls in the UK are more likely to get “repeatedly drunk” than their peers from almost anywhere else in Europe, a study has revealed.

Only those in Hungary, Denmark and Italy outdrink British girls, according to research by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

More than a third of 15-year-old girls in the UK have been drunk at least twice, compared with less than a quarter of boys the same age.
