The danger of alcohol abuse goes beyond college kids getting too drunk at parties. According to Alcohol.org<\/a>, every year, 6,500 people aged 21 and under die from alcohol-related accidents, some of whom were not even drinking themselves. Alcohol use by people who do not know how to drink responsibly or are unaware of the risks contributes to higher rates of violence, sexual assault, and suicide.<\/p>\n

P<\/strong>arents Do Make a Difference<\/strong>
\nResearch shows that parents are an important influence on whether or not their son or daughter chooses to drink alcohol. Kids do care about their parents\u2019 opinions. They tend to respond well to a positive parenting style.<\/p>\n

In contrast, many studies show that authoritarian, overprotective, and permissive parenting can lead to negative outcomes.<\/p>\n
