Children, young people and alcohol
An alcohol-free childhood is the healthiest and best option for a child, as alcohol can have a serious effect on their development.
Drinkaware's guide - children look to parents for guidance on alcohol explains how:
- you can help your child to develop a sensible relationship with alcohol
- to talk to your child and agree rules and boundaries.
