Youth indulging in binge drinking face disastrous consequences

Singapore  - Youth indulging in long-term binge drinking face disastrous consequences such as nerve and motor problems including poor memory or trembling, experts warned in a report Monday.

Over four nights, the newspaper spotted 23 drunk youths, mostly under 25, sprawled outside six Singapore nightclubs. Binge drinkers vomit, then go back inside clubs to party and continue drinking.

Young drinkers often indulge in alcohol for such reasons such as peer pressure, escapism or as a show of power, Koh said.
