NCB Now: Our shout! - What measures could be taken to reduce binge drinking among teenagers?

"There should be other activities for teenagers to do with friends, like youth clubs, cafes and under-18 discos." - Sarah, 17, Buxton

"By telling them the effects of drinking and the damage it can cause." - Idris, 15, East Ham, London

"I think that ID should be checked more often in bars and clubs to stop underage binge drinking." - Lauren, 17, Weston-Super- Mare

"More police patrolling might discourage teenagers from drinking in bars and pubs. More interesting and relevant education in school might also help." - Emily, 15, Buxton, Derbyshire
