There is no specific offence of under age drinking. However, the following table shows data from the court proceedings database held by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform and details the number of defendants aged 10-17 found guilty at all courts for offences related to drunkenness in 2004. This is broken down as requested. Data for 2005 will be available in the autumn. In addition to this, the penalty notice for disorder (PND) scheme, brought into effect in all police forces in England and Wales in 2004, gives the police powers to issue fixed penalty notices to persons aged 16-17 believed to be committing offences of drunkenness. No admission of guilt is required and payment of the penalty discharges all liability for the offence. Data on the number of PNDs issued to 16-17 year olds for under-age drinking in 2004, as well as provisional data for 2005, are also provided broken down by region. It is not possible to identify the number of PNDs issued in each London borough as the data is not collected at that level of detail centrally.

It is not possible to identify the number of prosecutions there have been for off-licence alcohol sales to people already under the influence of alcohol or under the age of 18 as the data held by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform does not identify those offences that have taken place in an off licence. However, data for the number of defendants prosecuted for certain offences relating to alcohol can be found in the following table.Penalty Notices for Disorder have been available to the police for the offences of the sale of alcohol (a) to a drunken person and (b) to a person under the age of 18 since 1 November 2004, although data held by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform does not identify those offences that have taken place in an off licence. The following table shows 2004 PND data for (a) selling alcohol to a person under 18, however there were no PND's issued for (b) Sale of alcohol to a drunken person in 2004. The table also shows provisional 2005 PND data for both (a) and (b).
