Alcohol lowers a person’s inhibitions and ability to make correct judgments. It also causes a loss in motor control skills in an individual. The most common age group for driving after alcohol consumption is most common in those aged 21-34. This shows a dire need for alcohol education for our youth to prevent them from drinking and/or getting behind the wheel if having been drinking.

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 hockey 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 is the best way to help. This is of the utmost importance because younger individuals who try alcohol are more likely to experiment with drugs.
