looking for advice really.
My nephew is 15, and has started drinking quite a lot. He has been drinking with friends of a similar age but also when on his own at home when his mum and dad are out in the evenings. I know he was drunk the other night when I spoke to him.
What can I do to help him? Is there anything I can do?

well then if she herself is concerned maybe she should cut it out!

You could show him \link{http://www.clitheroetoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=9&ArticleID=1378420\this}, YG.

The boy concerned was "off his face" (allegedly, from a v reliable source) at a party and took the Land Rover from the drive of the house the party was in.
