title: Children and the ingestion of alcohol: a statistical analysis of children attending an A & E department.
abstract: The results of a survey of children attending an Accident and Emergency (A & E) Department following ingestion of alcohol are reported. Data were analysed to indicate age and sex of children, date and time of attendance, method of transport to hospital, whether accompanied to hospital and if so by whom, and whether admitted or discharged. Trends in children's consumption of alcohol, as observed by the author, are discussed.
