The Drinks Are On Us promotion at Pier 39 in Whitley Bay's South Parade attracts dozens of youngsters every Saturday night.

Pier 39 customers can have as much beer, lager, spirits or alcopops as they can drink for £6 between 8pm and 10.20pm.

Its manager, Tony Yates, said the promotion was carefully controlled. "The last thing we want is people pie-eyed." - Evening Chronicle (David Browning)
