Using the most recent iteration of a large biennial survey of schoolchildren we measure the extent to which young people’s drinking fell within the guidelines just prior to their introduction and the characteristics of individuals whose drinking does not; how alcohol related harms relate to compliance; and risk factors associated with behaving outside of the guidance. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted utilising a self-completed questionnaire with closed questions.

Over half of drinkers (54.7%) reported routinely drinking more heavily than guidance suggests (here ≥5 drinks/session ≥1 month), or typically drinking unsupervised at home or at a friend’s home when parents were abse
