IT’S A SERIOUS enough issue — but that didn’t stop the actors tasked with depicting an ‘under-age drinker’ situation for a new training scheme from having a bit of fun with their scene.

“You’re an a*******. You’re a F****** A*******.”
More details about the course, which comes from the ‘Responsible Serving of Alcohol’ group is available via Alcohol.ie.
