The bad effects of alcohol are displayed in the media and on the Internet; we also have real live people in our society showing its ill effects. The reaction that most people have when you ask them how much they drink, is to quickly deflect the focus off of themselves and state how much less they drink in comparison to others. Everyone thinks he or she is a "social drinker." If you continue to inquire further, they may tell you that they only consume beer or wine. Ultimately, alcohol can be dangerous if not used responsibly.
There are three levels of drinking - light, moderate and heavy. The belief that wine or beer is not as harmful as hard liquor is not true. It doesn't make a difference which type of alcohol you consume - it is still alcohol. The amount taken in is what matters. How much you drink affects your parenting ability. Drinking just a little bit can affect child raising. The more you drink the less effective you are as a parent.
If you drink, you won't be able to spend as much time with your children. If you are drinking that is wasted time that could be spent with your children. On the weekends, in the evening after school, and so on are usually the times when adults tend to drink and these are also the times when children need their parents the most. You are emotionally less available for your child the more alcohol you consume. You will appear to be neglectful if you are emotionally unavailable or if you simply do not make the time.
When your children become old enough to drink, they will begin to drink at the same rate as you because they think that is acceptable. If you're a moderate to a heavy drinker, that's the level at which your children will likely drink as well. As you drink more, your child will do the same -- a vicious circle resulting in the loss of any control over your child. You can expect them to tell you to "practice what you preach". Since you became the hunted as well there is going to be a tournament. Regardless of how much you drink, consuming alcohol while simultaneously condemning it to your children is a sheer act of hypocrisy. The inclusion of alcohol can make even typical parent-child conflicts blow sky-high.
If you drink regularly, you should look at how often and how much you drink. The best means of morally guiding your children is to abstain from using alcohol. So parents must cut down on their alcohol consumption in a serious way. Dads should not consume more than 3 alcoholic beverages per special occasion and never more than six standards a week. Mothers need to reduce the amount of products they drink by one third. There should be at least three days each week when parents together are alcohol-free and spending quality time with their children. Do their activities. Make sure you keep a close eye on them but keep it cool.
There is no shortage of reasons to avoid alcohol. Are you kids first in your life?
