In your district, do you think there is a serious problem of underage drinking?

BACKGROUND

At 19.5 liters, Uganda’s per capita alcohol consumption is one of the highest in the world. 

On 20th March 2014, the Straight Talk Foundation launched the Underage Drinking Campaign in Gulu District, which has the highest number of underage drinkers in Northern Uganda. The Gulu District Education Officer, Vincent Oceng claims that this is due to two factors: 

One is the presence of video halls and bars that are set up near schools where students take local brew in sachets. And the second is because teachers also drink a lot, and go to class drunk, showing a bad example to students.
