Mr Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West, Labour)
Surely, the point is not what is the most popular drink among young people, but what is the rate of market growth for particular drinks. The evidence is that the market for alcopops and spirit-based coolers has grown hugely in recent years. Beer and cider may remain the most popular, but that is not necessarily where the growth in drinking is.
