Your Kids and Alcohol

A recent Drinkaware YouGov poll showed over a third of 16 and 17 year-olds would prefer to get information on alcohol from their parents.

It’s best to start early - Drinkaware research shows children’s openness to their parents’ influence changes dramatically as they grow up. Between the ages of 8 and 12, children generally accept what their parents say about alcohol.

From 13 onwards, young people increasingly pay attention to their friends. However, parents may still have more leverage with their children than they might think.

This leaflet sets out to answer questions parents and their children may have about alcohol and offers advice and help to parents on how best to approach their children regarding the subject.

It outlines current government guidelines and provides useful contacts for those parents that believe their child may have issues resulting from alcohol abuse.
