Drinking during holidays and special occasions could affect how you parent your kids

I can't believe people are spending time and money to get to this very obvious conclusion.

I propose next: how the lack of sleep can affect parenting.

I've never drinck exzept on holibays. Mee, Im slobber all the rset time. Yike now. Mye kids domt care thay say im grate dabby. Hpbby holibayx1 o ant i,m god rule modle, yoo.

How much alcohol do you typically drink in a week? A month?.....................None, I have never touched the stuff. Given the many laws against nearly every thing, it amazes me why there is none against alcohol. Drinking it impairs every one who drinks it, And the more the worse. I wonder sometimes just how many millions of crimes are done by alcoholic users, and I would bet it leads to far more deaths than drug use...etc..

is underestimated by anywhere from 30% in the U.S. to 80% in Australia.

What's up in Australia? As far as I am concerned, if you are an angry or violent drunk, don't get married and do your vice by yourself.

Football is indeed a violent sport, but I think more importantly is level of excitement stimulated by the sport. The same could be said of those watching soccer or rugby.

IMO, alcohol merely enhances the emotional level, whether excitement due to watching a sport or the romance of a Valentine's dinner or other romantic event.

Parenting is of course stressful in general and the stress varies by occasion. The key IMO is moderation. That requires a bit of maturity

Parenting in moderation, Herve? You, my fellow human, are a genius!

Nay, not parenting in moderation, but ALL THINGS in moderation!

Has reading comprehension so declined?

When researchers compare how much alcohol is sold to how much people say they drink, alcohol consumption is underestimated by anywhere from 30% in the U.S. to 80% in Australia.

And meawhile, my research of two people in Japan gave me a result 100%. I think these researchers were probably drinking on the job.

I am surprised by this article after living here for 20 plus years it is very common to take kids to izakayas (japanese pubs) to drink and eat with friends. Babysitters like back in the western world is just not common and way back when it was to leave the children with the grandparents when multiple families lived with one another or take them. With that said, I hear it popular in Britain for kids to go to the pubs there, too, when the parents go out and so I am going to take this as a cultural thing.
