The debate about problem drinking and how to stop it
nowadays centres most on the working-class young. They are【M1】______
highly visible—and inaudible—as they clog city centres on【M2】______

disseminated to many a wider audience as society became more【M10】______
literate and censorship declined. [br] 【M5】
