The sight is seen on most Friday and Saturday nights in local high streets, drunken individuals shouting and fussing infused with too much alcohol. By the time of early morning, many of these individuals are curled up in a stressed and tormented fashion, feeling unwell following all the heavy drinking. It is a shame to witness young ladies practically lose hold of their clothing throughout the night, and to seen young men promote an overly aggressive nature, yet, that is one of the most likely sights to occur in majority of drinkers. Now, in order to try and combat binge drinking, the Government plans to introduce warnings on bottles of wine, beer and spirits about the health affects of alcohol and reminders to drink responsibly.

The warnings, which would be similar to those carried on cigarette packets, would materialize on all drinks sold at shops and supermarkets in an attempt to address Britain's binge-drinking culture. The labels would include the number of alcohol units in each bottle, a reminder about the effects of alcohol consumption and recommended daily limits.

Still, as many drink companies are refusing to apply with a voluntary code to introduce the labels themselves, the government is considering enforcing the labels as only 15 per cent of alcoholic drinks currently carry five key messages, despite a voluntary code agreed between industry and Government in 2007. Statistics from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that over 50% of 15 to 16 year-olds have participated in binge drinking, and another report showed that 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds are regular binge drinkers. With these kinds of statistics, it is clear that something has to be done to combat binge drinking in the young population as the binge-drinking culture is getting out of control.
