About this listen
Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI) has published a report on youth drinking, which shows a 3% increase in alcohol consumption levels by 15- to 24-year-olds between 2024 and 2025.
The report says that when drinking is initiated by young people, it is accompanied by high levels of particularly risky and hazardous consumption, with 64% regularly binge drinking and one in three having an alcohol-use disorder.
Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss the findings were Sheila Gilheaney, CEO of Alcohol Alliance Ireland and Dr Eoin Fogarty, Consultant in Emergency and Retrieval Medicine at Cork University Hospital
