Alcohol lowers a person’s inhibitions and ability to make correct judgments. It also causes a loss in motor control skills in an individual. It is a proven fact that the younger a person begins drinking alcohol their chances of having to battle an addiction to alcohol and/or drugs increase exponentially. This shows a dire need for alcohol education for our youth to prevent them from drinking without accurate information and making a uniformed decision that might seem like a small one, but can have huge consequences later in life.
Some things parents can do to prevent their children from drinking are give your children an answer for a way out when offered a drink, i.e. I am trying out for the baseball team and need to stay in shape. Also establish a strong communication line with your children. Be the person they can come to with a problem rather than reacting and help them figure out a solution to that problem. You want to be open and honest when speaking with your children about alcohol addiction and communicate with them on a level which they can understand. This is of the utmost importance because younger individuals who try alcohol are more likely to experiment with drugs.
Some indicators of alcohol abuse of your child, family member or co-worker to look for are a change in their eating and sleeping patterns, drastic mood changes and individuation from family members. Some signs to look for in alcohol use are slurred speech, redness of skin and loss of motor skills.
