– Too many Flemish cafes give beers and alcoholic drinks to teenagers aged 14, 15 & 16. Paul Van den Meerssche, head inspector of FOD Volksgezondheid (Public Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment) says he had enough after the death of Winok Wybo (15). The boy staggered last week in the water and drowned after a party with too much alcohol.
The auditors of the FPS Public Health ( Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment ) checked the past year 2,000 pubs and shops selling alcohol to teenagers under sixteen.
