Talking to your children about alcohol is crucial. They should be aware of the dangers of alcohol consumption. Alcohol affects memory, judgment, impulse control and motor coordination. Teens under the influence can put themselves in risky situations that can lead to teen pregnancy, STDs, car accidents, date rape and other consequences. One statistic shows that more young people die from underage alcohol consumption than from all illegal drugs combined. Talk to your kids about the dangers of alcohol abuse. Let your child know he can always come to you with questions or concerns. Also, as a parent, it's your responsibility to keep alcohol out of reach of your children. Make it so that it's not easily accessible. Remember, preventing alcohol abuse begins at home.
