A 16-year-old boy who police say drank nine litres of wine was found unconscious in a mall yesterday.
In a tweet about 6.30pm, Manukau police said the teenager was found in a mall and taken to hospital by ambulance.
A Middlemore Hospital spokeswoman said the boy was still in the emergency department last night, but was in a stable condition.
Nine litres is the equivalent of 12 standard bottles of wine at 750ml each.
