Parental Drinking Affects Children!

If you want to keep your kids from drinking, start by looking at your own consumption.

That’s because adolescents whose parents drank regularly or binge drank were four times more likely to drink themselves, according to a study published September 14 in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Binge drinking is defined as at least four drinks for women and five drinks for men on one occasion, the study said. (CNN)

This shouldn’t be a surprise.

If the parent drinks regularly, even daily, the kids must think it is alright.

And the kids’ peers are also drinking at a younger age.

So, consumption of alcohol must be the cool thing to do?
