From: IAS Sent: 12 February 2016 08:47 To: XXX XXX; PHE Subject: Follow up from yesterday Hi both, Nice to see you both briefly yesterday, unfortunately I had to get going at the end of the meeting as it would have been useful to have had a chat. I was actually going to email you separately, but then thought it might make sense to put it all in one given the overlap. XXX - you’re right that nothing you said in your presentation was necessarily at odds with what I talked about, at least not in theory. The problem comes I think when things are put into practice and licensing decisions are made. Very very often people blindly accept the industry preferred premises by premises approach, which is neither accurate of helpful. Even your note one page 5 reading 'difficult to establish links between alcohol-related harms and particular premises’, could be seen to come from this approach. Of course you’re right, and there are tricky issues here, but if it is accepted that establishing those links is a black and white, heads or tails process, the scales will always be tipped against local authorities in general, and better public health engagement. My slight worry with the work going on at the moment, is that while the data/evidence side of the equation is clearly developing really well, the way in which most licensing committees approach decisions will remain as a big road block. The evidence will be more relevant and more local, but still dismissed as not obviously linked to a specific premises, when actually councillors are approaching things in an unhelpful way and applying the wrong evidential test. XXX – I’ve had a brief chat with XXX about this, and think that it could fit into the preventative approach being put forward at the moment e.g. encouraging local authorities to ‘promote the prevention’ and develop environments where the objectives are less likely to be undermined, in contrast to the more reactive ‘wait until there is a problem’ approach which is quite common at the moment. XXX – I know we’ve talked in the past about training as another issue alongside better data, and you mentioned it again yesterday, but I think that addressing this with better training and clearer guidance is the other side of the ‘better evidence’ coin. This would be very beneficial for the way in which local authorities use the Act overall, as well as for public health engagement. As I said yesterday I should be able to send over a full draft PDF soon (XXX – XXX already has a printed, but slightly untidy, version), and I’d be very happy to chat about this further if it would be useful.

From: IAS Sent: 07 December 2015 14:15 To: PHE Subject: FW: COMMENTS reqd: Analytical support package for licensing Hi XXX, Nice to see you last week, sorry for not getting around to looking at this until now. I think things look good, my only suggestion would come under the 'How areas would present and apply the evidence' section. I think it might be worth considering providing guidance and training for all parties, but especially licensing committee members, on how to consider health information within their decisions. It's very much at the centre of the recommendations coming out of my project, but links into lots of wider issues, about the evidential burden then use, and how definitively they look to establish cause and effect, so it might be a bit of a can of worms…. However, I think you might be missing a trick if you only focus 'upstream' of the licensing committee. We could talk about this a bit more when I've heard back from XXX perhaps. Cheers XXX From: PHE Date: Thursday, 26 November 2015 14:40 To: Distribution list – licensing network Cc: PHE Subject: COMMENTS reqd: Analytical support package for licensing Hi all, I wanted to update everyone on our progress and to call on the expertise of the group following on from my presentation at the last Public Health and Licensing Network meeting. PHE has agreed to develop and test an analytical support package which will both help public health teams with their existing role as a ‘responsible authority’ and test out the effectiveness of a theoretical health objective. The purpose of the project is to:

x Address the issues identified from the findings of the LAAA HALO-CIPs work x Respond to the need identified from local public health teams to have a better

understanding and better access to data and information to inform the licensing process

x Continue to test and build the evidence base for a 5th licensing objective linked to public health

Work to date on developing the analytical support package has largely focused on updating the available data resource and making it user friendly. Our CKO team has reviewed our different health tools and are now in the process of producing a “How to” guide which will include a guide on how areas can add their own local data to

3

maps produced. We are hoping to have a draft of the support package for the group to view and comment on by the 8th of December. We have a long list of possible pilot areas and a panel has been set up to choose the five areas, with an aim to start piloting the work at the beginning of February. To help the panel choose the areas, we have developed a draft criteria which I have attached. We would be interested in getting your feedback in case we have missed anything. In addition, we are working up the specific ‘Ask’ of the areas and intend to give clear guidance on what we need from areas to support this work. We want to develop a really clear understanding of where it is we want to get to, and put this together into a set of fairly clear steps/guidance for areas to help facilitate the process. Again it would be helpful to get your thoughts on this and if we are asking the right questions. Please note the attached document is a first draft outlining our thoughts on the criteria and the questions we need areas to ask. This is not for further circulation at this stage but we would welcome any comments from you.

Seminar The Licensing Act (2003): its uses and abuses 10 years on Francis Taylor Building, Inner Temple, London, EC4Y 7BY

17 March, 2-4pm

2 CPD points

XXXXXX

Francis Taylor Building and the Institute of Alcohol Studies would like to invite you to the launch of a new report on the 2003 Licensing Act.

Based on interviews and workshops with over 70 licensing professionals , this report investigates licensing over the last 10 years, but perhaps more importantly looks to the future of licensing.

Many local authorities feel that they struggle to use the Act to its full potential, and that the licensed trade often has the upper hand. This report investigates why, and aims to unpick a number of common but unhelpful assumptions and misconceptions around the Act. These include:

x The true extent of permissiveness (if at all) of the licensing regime x The greatly overplayed role of the premises by premises approach x Locality context and its importance in licensing decisions x The nature and use of evidence within licensing decision-making x The role of public health, well being and the wider quality of life x The difference between reactive decisions and decisions based on strategic thinking

This event will include a talk from XXX, expert adviser for the report, and a presentation of the key findings from IAS, Senior Research and Policy Officer at the Institute of Alcohol Studies. This will be followed by questions and an opportunity for discussion. There will be a further opportunity to ask questions over a short drinks reception at the close of the seminar.

Practical details

The seminar has been accredited with 2 CPD points.

There is no charge for this event but places must be reserved in advance. Please feel free

From: IAS Sent: 25 October 2016 15:10 To: XXX XXX; XXX XXX; PHE Subject: Re: IoL National Training Conference, Day 2, Thursday 17th November Hi All, Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for your slides XXX, and the quote - - am looking forward to the presentation too. That looks like a good general overview to get things going, and as I understand it XXX is going to talk about the Analytical Support Package. Perhaps I could move from evidence, which XXX will cover (I’m assuming?), to talking about how to best use the current system in England and Wales to cover public health issues. Such as:

x Getting past the slightly misleading ‘premises by premises’ approach to ‘what is acceptable in a particular location’, and how this more location based approach is more amenable to health issues.

x Then moving to causality and ‘evaluative judgements’ within decisions, and that the Act does not ask for total certainty within decisions. Again, this approach is more favourable for health issues.

Given that this would be the third presentation I’m happy to stick to those two key points, and have it over in 10 minutes max. That would hopefully leave a good bit of time for questions too, which would be good given the topic. How does that sound? Cheers, XXX

We met with Sara Wollaston yesterday, and she has offered to table the PH objective from my report as an amendment to the Police and Crime Bill, and is going to try and meet with Teresa May to talk about it. I thought it would be useful for her to know a bit more about the LAAAs before this, as they will probably be the Home Office’s main come back, saying things aren’t ready yet.

Protecting and improving the nation’s health

From: IAS Sent: 04 May 2016 12:10 To: PHE Subject: Re: Testing out a Wellbeing Objective Hi XXX, Nice to talk to you just now. The section I mentioned from Newcastle’s SLP is here, which doesn’t mention well being but pretty much works in the same way. While all the issues could be linked to an existing objectives, having health and well being would bring it all together much better and allow for the issues to be fleshed out better I think. I love the bits in red – pretty powerful and routed in the residents view of their own wellbeing The SLP goes on to state that the Licensing Authority, in conjunction with its partners, has determined that there are a number of local areas where the concentration of particular types of licensed premises is having an adverse impact on the licensing objectives, and then details these individually. For example:

Outside of the City Centre, Elswick area has the highest off licence outlet density in Newcastle and residents have told us that there are too many shops selling alcohol in the area. Local data and concerns raised by residents show that there are issues related to alcohol related crime, underage drinking, youth related anti social behaviour and street drinking by adult drinkers who visit or live in the hostels in the area. The area also has a high prevalence of other alcohol related issues such as alcohol related attendances at the emergency department and domestic violence. Local residents have told us that there are too many shops selling alcohol and late night takeaway premises in the area. The West Road and Adelaide Terrace is a hot spot for alcohol related crime, in particular violence against the person and criminal damage which is increasing despite decreases in overall crime. There are also particular concerns about underage drinking and youth related anti-social and rowdy behaviour. It is recognised that takeaway premises open late at night can be associated with disorder as persons under the influence of alcohol congregate there, and there are also problems with associated litter.

In response to this evidence, the Licensing Authority has decided to establish a new Cumulative Impact Area to avoid further increases in the number of shops selling alcohol and late night takeaways in order to prevent further negative impact on the licensing objectives.

In some ways this approach is relatively common, but Newcastle have strengthened their hand by taking a wide view of the negative social impacts of alcohol, but clearly evidencing their link to the licensing objectives. These few paragraphs effectively bring together a broad range of health and wellbeing issues, including deprivation and crime, and evidencing their problematic link to local outlet density. It also strongly bases this in the views of local residents. Newcastle City Council (2013) Statement of Licensing Policy 2013 - 2018

From: PHE Date: Friday, 29 April 2016 at 11:37 To: XXX XXX, IAS Subject: Testing out a Wellbeing Objective Hi Both, Part of the analytical support package pilot is to understand the benefits of having a health objective and what data and processes are needed. One of our pilot areas is keen to look at the concept of a wellbeing objective and use this to conduct a ‘mock’ review of applications to see if the data they have collected is robust enough to support a HALO/WALO.

UNDER STRICT EMBARGO 00:01 THURSDAY 6 OCTOBER 2016

BOOZE SOLD AT POCKET MONEY PRICES:

COST OF CINEMA TICKET BUYS 71/2 LITRES STRONG WHITE CIDER

Research released today shows there is an abundance of high strength alcohol sold for pocket money prices in shops and supermarkets across the UK. A review of alcohol prices in a range of retailers found products like high strength white ciders, which are predominantly drunk by dependent and underage drinkers, available for as little as 16p per unit. This means that for the cost of a standard off-peak cinema ticket it is possible to buy almost seven and a half litres of high strength white cider, containing as much alcohol as 53 shots of vodka. The findings are released today in a report (attached) by the Alcohol Health Alliance UK (AHA), a group of medical royal colleges, alcohol organisations and health bodies. The report argues that recent cuts in alcohol taxes allow supermarkets to sell alcohol at rock bottom prices, but have done little to benefit pubs and their customers. Chair of the AHA, leading liver doctor and former President of the Royal College of Physicians, Professor Sir Ian Gilmore said:

“In spite of a government commitment to tackle cheap, high-strength alcohol, these products are still available at pocket money prices. Harmful drinkers and children are still choosing the cheapest products: predominantly white cider and cheap vodka.

20

“We need to make excessively cheap alcohol less affordable through the tax system, including an increase in cider duty. It’s not right that high strength white cider is taxed at a third of the rate for strong beer.

“In addition, we need minimum unit pricing. This would target the cheap, high strength products drunk by harmful drinkers whilst barely affecting moderate drinkers, and it would leave pub prices untouched. In fact, pubs could benefit from minimum unit pricing, as it would prevent the proliferation of cheap alcohol in our supermarkets.

“It’s time the government took action and made all high strength alcohol less attractive to vulnerable drinkers.”

Each year there are almost 23,000 deaths and more than one million hospital admissions related to alcohol in England and Government figures estimate that alcohol harm costs UK society more than £21billion.

The report, Cheap alcohol: the price we pay, warns that, unless action is taken on the availability of cheap alcohol, harms associated with alcohol consumption will continue to rise, increasing the burden on the NHS and public services.

NOTES TO EDITORS

The report, Cheap alcohol: the price we pay can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/2drYZiG

Research was carried out by Alcohol Focus Scotland, Balance the North East Alcohol Office, Healthier Futures and the Institute of Alcohol Studies. Data were collected during April-May 2016. A total of 483 products were analysed.

Headline findings were:

· Alcohol continues to be sold at pocket money prices, with white cider dominating the market for cheap, high strength drinks

· The cheapest product on shelves was Frosty Jacks high strength white cider (7.5% ABV) sold for 16p per unit of alcohol

· For the cost of a standard off-peak cinema ticket you can buy almost seven and a half litres of high strength white cider, containing as much alcohol as 53 shots of vodka

· Recent cuts in alcohol taxes allow shops and supermarkets to sell alcohol at pocket money prices, but have done little to benefit pubs and their customers

· High strength white cider is taxed at the lowest rate of all alcohol products. A can of 7.5% ABV white cider attracts less than one third of the duty on a can of beer the same strength

The former Coalition government committed to tackling problems caused by cheap alcohol and in 2012 proposed the introduction of a minimum unit price for alcohol. However, these plans remain under consideration and no action has been taken to progress with the policy.

21

In 2012, the alcohol duty escalator – which increased duty by 2% above inflation – was scrapped. In the last four annual Budgets alcohol duty has been cut.

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD RESEARCH ON IMPACT OF MINIMUM UNIT PRICING

Page 10 of this report summarises work carried out by the University of Sheffield on the impact of minimum unit pricing in England after one year of implementation and after ten years of implementation. These figures, and the full research, are available at: University of Sheffield. Modelled income group-specific impacts of alcohol minimum unit pricing in England 2014/15: Policy appraisals using new developments to the Sheffield Alcohol Policy Model (v.2.5). Sheffield: School of Health and Related Research, 2013.

ABOUT THE ALCOHOL HEALTH ALLIANCE The Alcohol Health Alliance UK (AHA) is a group of more than 40 organisations including the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of GPs, British Medical Association, Alcohol Concern and the Institute of Alcohol Studies. The AHA works together to:

· Highlight the rising levels of alcohol-related health harm · Propose evidence-based solutions to reduce this harm · Influence decision makers to take positive action to address the damage caused by

alcohol misuse

MINIMUM UNIT PRICING – FAQ What impact would minimum unit pricing have? Work commissioned by the Government from the University of Sheffield revealed that one year after introducing a minimum unit price of 50p in England there would be: - 50,700 fewer crimes - 376,600 fewer days absent from work - 192 fewer deaths Wouldn’t MUP affect moderate, responsible drinkers? Moderate drinkers would experience very little impact from minimum unit pricing, which makes it one of the most effective measures, as it only targets the most harmful drinks of the kind deliberately sought out in this study. The price of a pint of beer in a pub would not be affected by minimum unit pricing. Wouldn’t taxation be more effective than an MUP? Recent research from the University of Sheffield found that, to achieve the same level of impact as an MUP of 50p, a 28% increase in all alcohol duty would be needed, which is outside the realms of possibility when it comes to what the government will do. Everyone would be affected by these measures, whereas minimum unit pricing only targets the cheapest, strongest drinks.

22

Can tax and minimum unit pricing be used together? Increasing duty and introducing an MUP are often presented as alternative solutions, when they can in fact be used to complement each other. Minimum unit pricing is targeted at the cheapest alcohol that is consumed by the most harmful drinkers but there are limits to its impact on wider population alcohol consumption and health, which increases to duty overall would help to tackle. Tax rises and tougher rules on alcohol promotions work well, but they will always work better when combined with minimum unit pricing. -----Original Message----- From: IAS Sent: 21 June 2016 10:59 To: PHE Subject: Re: Catch up Perfect, thanks!

Dial-in facilities will also be available. This meeting will focus on issues in gathering, collating and sharing licensing-relevant data. There will be presentations from: XXX XXX (Oxford University) on problems of licensing data access from a research perspective. XXX XXX (NALEO) on dealing with data in the licensing environment. XXX XXX (University of Sunderland) on data linking and public health. Then we shall have a roundtable discussion with XXX XXX (Home Office) to try and specify how the Home Office can support improvement in licensing data collection, reporting and sharing.

We are keen to ensure that all stakeholders are given the opportunity to provide input into this discussion, so would encourage as many network members as possible to attend. In advance, we would also invite you to let us know if there are specific problems with/barriers to data collection, sharing or reporting that they experience and would like to have included in the general discussion. We will structure the discussion around those experiences. Hopefully this meeting will be an opportunity to have an impact on this important issue and help to improve the use of data in licensing across the board.

PRESS RELEASE

ROAD SAFETY GROUPS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES CALL FOR LOWER DRINK DRIVING

LIMIT

Public opinion polls show 77% in favour of a lower legal limit Watch short animation film on drink driving below

A coalition of road safety charities, emergency services and health groups have today made fresh calls for MPs to reduce the drink driving limit in England and Wales. The call comes after statistics show no progress has been made on drink driving since 2010, with 240 deaths and more than 8,000 casualties reported each year. England and Wales have one of the highest drink-drive limits in the world. Set at 80mg alcohol per 100ml blood, it is greater than the rest of Europe (with the exception only of Malta), as well as Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The Government of Malta announced plans to lower the drink-drive limit to 50mg this month in a new National Alcohol Policy to reduce harm.(1) Scotland lowered its limit to 50mg in December 2014, and police figures showed a 12.5% decrease in drink-drive offences in the first nine months.(2) Northern Ireland is set to lower its drink driving limit before the end of 2016. Drink driving costs £800 million each year and the majority (60%) of those killed or injured are people other than the driver, such as passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Research shows that lowering our drink-drive limit to 50mg alcohol/100ml blood would reduce drink driving deaths by at least 10%. A two-minute animation has been produced by the Institute of Alcohol Studies to support this campaign, outlining the key arguments:

54

Organisations that support a lower limit include the RAC Foundation, BRAKE, the Police Federation, Fire Brigade Union, Royal College of Emergency Medicine, and the AA (see notes to editors for full list of supporters). The latest British Social Attitudes Survey showed more than three-quarters (77%) of the public are in favour of the move. Katherine Brown, Director at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, said: “Recent decades have seen great improvements in road safety, but progress on drink driving has ground to a halt. With hundreds of lives lost each year, we can’t afford to let England and Wales fall behind our neighbours in road safety standards. “It’s time the Government looked at the evidence and what other countries are doing to save lives and make roads safer. We need to make drink driving a thing of the past, and to do this we need a lower drink-drive limit.” Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said: “Policy in this area hasn’t moved for half a century, but in the face of mounting evidence it increasingly falls on opponents of a limit reduction to defend the status quo, rather than asking those who support a cut to keep making their case.” ENDS Notes to Editors More information on drink driving, with fully referenced statistics and information on drink driving accidents across England and Wales broken down by region, can be found here – www.ias.org.uk/lowerlimit Drink driving background info: In England and Wales, the drink-drive limit is set at 80mg alcohol/100ml blood and has been since 1965. Drivers who drink up to this limit are six times more likely to be killed in an accident than drivers who have not consumed alcohol. The cost of UK drink driving accidents and casualties is £800 million per year.(3) This does not include the 40% of fatal accidents where people have alcohol within their system, but are below the 80mg limit.(4) Drink driving leads to 240 deaths and more than 8,000 casualties each year. The Department for Transport calculate that 60% of those who are killed or injured in reported drink driving incidents are people other than the driver, such as passengers, other road users or pedestrians.(5) Organisations lending their support to the animation calling for a lower drink-drive limit include:

It was lovely to finally meet you last week. Hope things are progressing wit your house. As promised, please see attached the response by the Portman Group to my paper on Sports Sponsorship. All the best XXX From: Randall's Parliamentary Service Sent: 25 February 2016 11:02 Subject: Portman Group: Portman Group responds to report by Institute of Alcohol Studies on alcohol sponsorship

Portman Group responds to report by Institute of Alcohol Studies on alcohol sponsorship

Organisation: the Portman Group Type: Press Release Date: 25 February 2016 Portman Group responds to report by Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) on alcohol sponsorship "As the UK's leading temperance campaigners it is unsurprising that the IAS consistently ignore the official statistics which show significant and sustained declines in underage drinking during the last decade. The IAS also fails to mention the real world evidence that shows an alcohol sponsorship ban in France has had no effect on reducing underage drinking. Alcohol sponsorship is strictly controlled in the UK to ensure children are protected and we have made good progress in tackling underage drinking through education, enforcing strict ID schemes and by providing alternative activities for young people. This is about teaching responsible behaviour and supporting our young people as they progress to adulthood, not banning everything in sight." Henry Ashworth, Chief Executive, Portman Group NOTES TO EDITORS: Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS):

x "The core funding for IAS comes from a separate educational charity called the Alliance House Foundation (no. 208554), of which IAS is a subsidiary company. All of IAS’ legal aims are also the aims of the AHF…“ IAS website

x Alliance House Foundation: "To spread the principles of total abstinence from alcoholic drinks….The activities of the Alliance House Foundation are conducted through the projects, which it finances and supports: the Institute of Alcohol Studies and the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance.” AHF Directors Report, 2014

x Alliance House Foundation was previously known as: The UK Alliance for the Suppression of the Traffic in all Intoxicating Liquors.

Children and alcohol in the UK:

x Children (11-15) drinking alcohol has fallen by 36% since 2003 (Health and Social Care Information Centre, NHS)

x Under 18 admissions due to alcohol have fallen by 41% in the last 6 years (LAPE, Public Health England)

57

French alcohol sponsorship ban: The French Government introduced an alcohol marketing and sponsorship ban in 1991 (Loi Evin). The Loi Evin has failed to reduce underage drinking in France and instead has been accompanied by two decades of increasingly harmful consumption among French children and teenagers:

x WHO figures show that in the four years after the law was enacted the proportion of 12-18 year olds in France drinking alcohol increased from 47% to 65% (WHO)

x The proportion of French 18-25s who report repeated drunkenness has nearly doubled since 2005, rising from 15% to 29% (French Government Statistics)

x The proportion of French 15-30 year olds reporting drinking 6 or more drinks on a single occasion in the last month also increased from 20% to 25% between 2005 and 2010 (French Government Statistics)

Cochrane Review on Alcohol Advertising The Global 2014 Cochrane Review states: “There is a lack of robust evidence for or against recommending the implementation of alcohol advertising restrictions.” A link to the full report is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD010704.pub2/abstract Alcohol Sponsorship in the UK is strictly controlled by the Portman Group Code of Practice on Alcohol Sponsorship:

x One of the fundamental principles of the Code is to protect children from alcohol marketing and sponsorship.

x The Code also commits alcohol companies to promoting responsible drinking as part of their sponsorship agreements.

x The Code was launched in January 2014 and was welcomed by the UK Public Health Minister, The Sports and Recreation Alliance, The Scottish Government Alcohol Industry Partnership (SGAIP) and the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Sport Group.

x The Code is supported by the major sports, music and venue rights holders, including: AEG, Association of Independent Festivals, British Horseracing, Business in Sport and Leisure, DF Concerts, England and Wales Cricket Board, European Sponsorship Association, Football Association, Rugby Football Union, Rugby Football League, Lawn Tennis Association, Premier League, Scottish Golf Union, Scottish Rugby, and the Sport and Recreation Alliance.

x More on the Sponsorship Code can be found here.

Drinks industry voluntary initiatives to reduce underage drinking

x The drinks industry has rolled-out Challenge 21, Challenge 25 and PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme) nationwide.

x These ID schemes have been recognised as having a role in the reduction of underage drinking. Now, only 5% of 11-15 year old drinkers attempt to obtain alcohol from pubs or shops. (Health and Social Care Information Centre)

x The drinks industry blind funds LEAF (LifeSkills Education and Alcohol Foundation) that delivers life skills and alcohol education in schools:

x The drinks industry supports Community Alcohol Partnerships which tackle under-age drinking and provide alternative activities for young people.

x The drinks industry funds and promotes Drinkaware – the alcohol education charity.

Did you submit evidence to the recent Health Select Committee inquiry into public health post 2013? We met with Sara Wollaston yesterday and she seemed to be very positive about the evidence they received about local alcohol treatment provision – that things were improving as a result of public health moving into local authorities. This sounds good on the one hand, but what was surprising it that she said they’ve not had much evidence indicating that treatment services are being cut. I’ve heard from lots of people that there are some huge cuts going on, including from you I think? While the inquiry is closed, they would still accept evidence on this, so if you, or anyone you know, has evidence of treatment service cuts it might be worth getting them to pass it on to the health select committee. They want to get the final report out before the summer, but may struggle with this.

UNDER STRICT EMBARGO 00:01 Friday 1st July 2016

BEYOND ‘AB FAB BRITAIN’:BETTER PARENTING LINKED TO

FALL IN UNDERAGE DRINKING

New report assesses explanations for lower teen drinking A new report from the Institute of Alcohol Studies, Youthful Abandon: why are young people drinking less?, suggests that improvements in parenting and the reduced affordability of alcohol are the best explanations for recent declines in underage drinking. On the day that Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie arrives in cinemas, the report challenges the ‘Ab Fab’ theory – that children are shunning alcohol in a ‘backlash’ against the habits of their parents. It also plays down commonly-held notions that stricter ID policies, the advent of social media and demographic changes due to immigration are responsible for the reduction in underage drinking. In 2003, 61% of 11-15 year olds in England had tried alcohol; the most recent available data shows that by 2014 this had fallen to 38%. Yet there is relatively little existing research explaining the drop. Youthful Abandon collects and tests a number of arguments for why underage drinking has fallen, finding:

· Contrary to the theory that Britain is producing a generation of Ab Fab ‘Saffys’, revolting against the hedonism of their parents, children from heavier drinking families are in fact more likely to drink themselves

· Indeed, on a number of measures, parents have become more responsible in recent years, reducing the likelihood of underage drinking because they are:

o less likely to drink in front of their children o less likely to approve of their children drinking

64

o more likely to know their children’s whereabouts and activities o have warmer relationships with their children

· Higher taxes and lower wage growth substantially reduced the affordability of alcohol between 2008 and 2013, which is likely to be one of the main causes of falling consumption

· Enforcement of ID policies has played only a minor role, since relatively few children ever bought their own alcohol – at its highest, only 6% ever bought alcohol from a shop

· There is little existing evidence to show that children are drinking less because they are spending more time online or on social media – in fact, such behaviour is linked with greater alcohol use

· Demographic changes due to immigration cannot explain the shift, which has occurred among white children as well as ethnic minorities

Katherine Brown, Director of the Institute of Alcohol Studies, said: “This report takes an important first step towards understanding why underage drinking has fallen, which is critical if we are to maintain the welcome progress of recent years and prevent a reversal of this trend. “It’s terrific to see that better parenting skills and improved family relationships may be contributing to the fall in drinking amongst children and young people. This will be welcome news for modern parents who have been accused setting bad examples akin to Ab Fab’s Eddy. “The influence of the economy and the affordability of alcohol on underage drinking is perhaps more concerning, given that alcohol taxes have been cut in recent Budgets. If alcohol continues to become more affordable, we could see a return to the underage drinking rates of the early 2000s.” Aveek Bhattacharya, the report’s author, said: “This report challenges a number of stereotypes and urban myths around underage drinking, including the supposed irresponsibility of modern parents and children, effects of immigration and increased use of social media. “Whilst we don’t have all the answers and evidence to explain why underage drinking has fallen, the fact that alcohol has become less affordable is highly likely to have discouraged many young people. Further research is needed to explore the driving forces behind this trend, and I hope this report will be a helpful starting point”.

Notes to Editors

· The proportion of 11-15 year olds in England ever to have drunk alcohol fell from 61% to 38% between 2003 and 2014

· This decline has occurred amongst boys and girls, heavier and lighter drinkers and all ethnic groups

· Similar falls in teenage drinking have been reported in the USA, Canada, Australia and a number of European countries

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHANCELLOR URGED TO TACKLE THE SCOURGE OF CHEAP ALCOHOL

Report finds alcohol harm will cost UK up to £52billion in 2016

Leading representatives from the alcohol harm reduction, children’s, homelessness and religious sectors have today called for action on the harm done by cheap alcohol.

43 organisations and experts have written to the Chancellor calling on him to implement targeted measures such as a minimum unit price for alcohol and increased taxes on high strength white cider, to lower the burden of cheap alcohol on our most vulnerable groups, our NHS and public services, and the economy.

Their call comes in response to a report released today by Public Health England, which finds that raising the price of the cheapest alcohol products is the most powerful tool at the Government’s disposal to tackle the harm done by the cheapest alcohol.

The report, published in the Lancet, explains that alcohol is the leading cause of ill health, early death and disability amongst 15-49 year olds in England, and results in 167,000 years of working life lost. The report estimates the annual cost of alcohol harm to the UK in 2016 to be between 1.3% and 2.7% of GDP, which equates to £27billion and £52billion. In October 2016, a review of alcohol prices by the Alcohol Health Alliance UK found an abundance of cheap, high strength drinks across the UK. Researchers were able to find products like high strength white ciders, which are predominantly drunk by dependent and underage drinkers, available for as little as 16p per unit.

This means that for the cost of a standard off-peak cinema ticket it is possible to buy almost seven and a half litres of high strength white cider, containing as much alcohol as 53 shots of vodka.

Last month, a study found that, in England alone, the introduction of a 50p minimum unit price could reduce alcohol deaths by around 7,200, and reduce healthcare costs by £1.2 billion over 20 years.

69

Responding to the Public Health England report, Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance UK, said:

This report provides yet more evidence of the effectiveness of raising the price of the cheapest alcohol to tackle alcohol-related harm.

Increased duty on the cheapest drinks, alongside minimum unit pricing, would make a real difference to the lives of some of our most vulnerable groups and ease the burden on our health service. These measures would also lower the burden of premature mortality due to alcohol, thereby increasing economic output.

At the same time, ordinary drinkers will not be penalised. Minimum unit pricing will leave pub prices untouched, and tax on the cheapest, strongest drinks will be targeted at those drinks which are preferentially consumed by harmful and dependent drinkers.

Jeremy Swain, Chief Executive of homelessness charity Thames Reach, said:

Among the homeless people we work with, our figures indicate that super-strength beers and ciders, at 7.5-9% ABV, are doing more damage than both heroin and crack cocaine.

98% of the homeless people we work with who have alcohol problems primarily drink bottles and cans of these super-strength ciders and beers, which are far stronger than regular and premium ciders and beers, and a survey of deaths in Thames Reach hostels showed 11 of 14 deaths over a year (78%) were directly attributed to high-strength drinks.

By introducing minimum unit pricing and increasing the tax on these damaging products, the harm done to the vulnerable people we work with will go down and the opportunity to reduce, and ultimately end dependence on alcohol, increase.

Chief Executive of The Children’s Society, Matthew Reed, said: “Millions of children in the UK are living in families where adults drink hazardous levels of alcohol. This is placing children at greater risk of abuse and neglect, conflict and domestic violence at home. “We know children as young as five are calling helplines because they are worried about their parents’ drinking. The availability of cheap alcohol also makes it easier for teenagers to get hold of strong drinks at pocket money prices. “We need the government to act now and protect children from alcohol misuse by increasing prices, as suggested by Public Health England. Families and children should also be provided with adequate support such as counselling and family mediation to address the issue of alcohol misuse as

70

early as possible and to alleviate the impact it has had on children. This will be a step forward in putting the needs to vulnerable children first.”
