3-year-old alcoholic treated by hospital

LONDON

Hospital officials say the child was treated by medical staff after being given alcohol regularly.

The lobby group Drinkaware says that any alcohol can disrupt a child's development.

The case highlights a new low in Britain's struggle to control a binge-drinking culture which has seen alcohol-related deaths double in the past two decades.
