This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 2019 study estimated that 40% of young Danes aged 15-16 had been drunk in the previous 30 days, the highest proportion in Europe, where the average is 13%.
Denmark is to restrict the sale of alcohol to under-18s and increase the price of suckable nicotine sachets, as their growing popularity is worrying health authorities, the Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday.
She also deplored the fact that young people were consuming more and more snus, a tobacco product which comes in the form of nicotine sachets that can be sucked.
It will also be forbidden to offer "seductive" aromas and flavours in tobacco replacement products", the ministry said.
According to the National Health Authority, 22% of 15-year-old girls and 27% of 15-year-old boys drink on a weekly basis.
In 2019, a study by ESPAD (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) estimated that 40% of young Danes aged 15-16 had been drunk in the previous 30 days, the highest proportion in Europe, where the average is 13%.
