The UK drinking guidelines recommend that adults should not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week. This is equivalent to about 6 pints of beer or 6 medium glasses of wine. It is also advised to spread these units over the course of the week and have several alcohol-free days.

Will there be less under age drinking if the age was lowered to 18?

No - the age limit here in the UK is 18 - yet there are more cases of under-age drinking each year.
