An article examined the exposure of adolescents to television alcohol advertising in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany. It said that adolescents (aged 10 to 15 years) in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands had higher exposure relative to adults than would be expected from their television viewing. However, younger children in each country (aged 4 to 9) had lower exposure than adults to advertising. The article suggested further work across a wider range of countries to explore the relationship between national policies and youth viewing of alcohol advertising.
