Now here’s a shocker:
Teenagers who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge
drink, according to a survey of 10,000 children which backs the
continental style of introducing teenagers to small amounts of alcohol
early.
There’s always the fools of course:
Today’s findings contrast sharply with a recent call from Alcohol
Concern to prosecute parents who give their under-15s alcohol.
Professor Bellis said that this evidence showed that approach was
flawed. "I don’t think prosecuting parents is the way forward. It’s
possibly the worst thing you can do to a child at that stage."
Sigh.
