Are they in too much of a hurry to grow up?

This was created after a student in my Y11 class asked at what age you can drink in Spain. I am always looking for ways in to topics that give them a flavour of A Level and we were just about to start the health topic when it occured to me to link the idea of health issues and youth problems to legal age of consent and the fact that young people are in too much of a hurry to grow up.
