It’s time that mothers and fathers, who allow their children to have a supervised drink thinking that by following this way they can expose their children to alcohol safely, stop thinking same as the new study by the researchers has highlighted some other truths with respect to same.

Researchers have recently conducted a joint American-Australian study over more than 1,900 children falling between the age group of, 12 and 13-year. They found from their study that the children, who have faced harm minimization approaches by their parents, were more likely to have experienced alcohol-related consequences such as not being able to stop drinking, getting into fights, or having blackouts etc but two years later as compared to the case of the children, whose parents had a zero-tolerance strategy upon their children

It has been a year now into the study and the researchers found that almost 67% teenagers (i. e. twice as many Australian teenagers) had drunk alcohol in the presence of an adult as compared to their 35% American counterparts, reflecting general attitudes in Australia and the US when it comes to supervised underage drinking. And in the following year, only 36% Australians experienced alcohol-related consequences whereas 21% were of the Americans to experience same.
