In England there is a serious concern about young people "binge drinking" at the weekends. It really is no different here in Spain.
In a recent survey, almost 4,000 alicantinos students between between the ages of 14 and 18 admitted to driving a car when they were drunk. Mostly they had been drinking at the weekends at what are called "botellon" (large bottle) parties.
Out of all the students who admitted to drinking during the last month only 32.4% said they drank occasionally during the week.
Apart from the problems with alcohol, 40% of the students aged between 15 and 24 years old said they didn't take precautions when having sex.
Four nurses will visit 47 schools in Alicante, to inform the children about the the risks associated with the consumption of drugs and the practice of unsafe sex.
