Parenting Influences on the Development of Alcohol Abuse and Dependence

Abstract

The parental influences that you have on your children, both in an alcohol-specific and non-alcohol-specific can result in the problem with alcohol abuse. Do children model their parents drinking behavior? Researchers compare and contrast the alcohol-specific influences and non-alcohol specific influences effects. Both alcohol and non-alcohol specifics influences the development of alcohol abuse and dependence problem in the offspring. There are different effects of parental drinking individual effects, dyadic and family-level effects. Studies have found that family environment and parenting effects have strongly increases the children’s risk of developing an alcohol abuse and dependence.
