Do home drink kids not binge?

A report claimed that children drinking alcohol at home with their parents are to have less drinking problems when they grow older. When kids do not have to drink secretly, without their parents knowing, drinking alcohol becomes less fun. Used to drinking in moderation at home with their parents, teenagers will have less trouble with drinking alcohol at bars and pubs in later life; they are less likely to binge. But charity Alcohol Concern claims that parents giving their child alcohol when it’s not 15 yet, should be prosecuted. Prof Mark Bellis of Liverpool John Moores University, contradicts that. He says that kids should learn about alcohol and understand alcohol by their parents, who are to give a good example.

Comment:

As a parent you have to be careful with alcohol at home when your children are around. Parents definitely have to be a good example to their kids. Children are likely to copy what they see their parents do at home. You should not offer your kid alcohol when they are not 14 or 15 yet. But, you better let them get accustomed to alcohol at home then somewhere else where you do not see and cannot control them. In my opinion there is a bigger chance kids will go out of control when they try out alcohol for the first time with friends somewhere in a pub or “behind the bushes in a park”.
