According to the calculations of the NGO controls Club. He has presented the campaign alcohol can wait. A program to prevent the first consumption of alcohol. 33% Of young people had his first contact with alcohol in areas of bottle. The Club controls NGO has warned of that during summer vacation probably one in every three young fourteen-year-old will be exposed to their first consumption of alcohol, which represents some 150,000 young people from across Spain. The controls Club President Vicente Pizcueta, has facilitated these data during a press conference in Valencia that has presented the campaign alcohol can wait, a program to raise awareness and prevent the first alcohol consumption by young people of about fourteen years. The middle ages to which young people have their first touchdown with the consumption of alcohol has been delayed with respect to the middle of 2010, and the national average stood at age 14.

The Minister of health, Luis Rosado, also present at the press conference, announced that the campaign – which will be extended for one year will count with performances through social networks and prevention messages in media of communication, as well as actions of direct awareness in recreational areas and commercial and educational centers starting from the next school year. Pink has ensured that this campaign is going to have a very important cto in fourteen year olds and has considered that the campaigns that fourteen years carries out Club controls NGOs are serving to improve the perception of risks arising from the consumption of alcohol. Controlling Club President has asserted that this is the first dedicated specifically to the first awareness campaign consumption of alcohol and probably also the first of its kind carried out at national level. Although the delay in the age of first alcohol consumption is good news, not to trust because the changes occur each year, and could vary in the following, he has warned Pizcueta. He has also lamented that most worrying is the accessibility that have minors to alcohol, and added that 33% of young people has their first contact with alcohol in areas of bottle, 24.7% in private houses and 23.5% in entertainment venues. Pizcueta has also appreciated the increase in the perception of the risks of alcohol consumption, which is especially reflected in the girls, and that has resulted the consolidation of the non-drinker driver as a figure becoming increasingly common among young people aged between twenty and twenty-five years. He has indicated that another of the most significant results of the sociological survey – which has been 5.745 youths aged between 13 and 30 years – is that the roles of boys and girls are equal, and both consume alcohol at the same time. This assumes that the girls that normally go in groups where the kids are a little older are initiated in the habitual consumption of alcohol before the men, explained.
