Kids get drunk for half the cost of a chocolate bar | The Sun |News: "YOUNGSTERS can get drunk for HALF the price of a bar of chocolate, a shocking new study has found.
Supermarkets and off-licences are selling cider for as little as 10p per unit of alcohol. Lager can be bought for just 26p a pint - equal to 2½ units. The average price of chocolate such as a Yorkie bar is 60p.
Teenagers and younger children who gain access to booze are at risk because they become drunk on fewer units than adults. The recommended daily allowance for a man is three units. It is two units for a woman.
Researchers visited England's eight biggest cities outside London to monitor booze prices. They found three-litre bottles of strong cider - containing seven per cent alcohol - on sale for just £2.25.
Doctors say that level of alcohol would be almost enough to KILL a small child."
