The UK has one of the biggest binge drinking problems in Europe. That's according to a study of 15 and 16 year olds in 35 European countries. UK teens drink more in one session than teens in any other European country apart from the Isle of Man and possibly Demark. The report describes binge drinking in the UK as "serious and chronic". It says that girls are even more likely to turn to booze than boys but that the use of drugs like cannabis has fallen. Experts say that young people are developing health problems and even dying prematurely because of their underage drinking. Charlotte headed to a school in Basingstoke to find out students' views on drink and drugs and asked boys in St Albans about cannabis and alcohol.
