In 2009, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England assessed the impact of alcohol consumption on the health of children. The CMO’s guidance stated that an alcohol-free childhood is the healthiest option or if children do drink alcohol, it should not be until at least the age of 15 years old. The Department promotes this guidance through online platforms such as NHS.UK, Talk to FRANK and GOV.UK. Local authorities promote the guidance as part of public health duties.
