Substance Abuse Ministry (SAM)
Among underage drinkers who did not pay for the alcohol they last drank, 37.1% got it from unrelated persons aged 21 or older. 19.9% from another person younger than 21 years old and 20.5% from a parent, guardian or other adult family member. Please rethink your actions if you have given alcohol to a minor in recent months. Doing so is like playing Russian Roulette with a loaded gun. Ask yourself, are you a helper or a hindrance to substance abuse?

Parenting Style Plays a Role In Teen Drinking
Issues: Binge Drinking, Underage drinking
Coalition resources: Data Analysis
Drug type: Alcohol
Researchers at Brigham Young University have found that teenagers who grow up with parents who are either too strict or too permissive tend to binge drink more than their peers. The study was published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
"While parents didn't have much of an effect on whether their teens tried alcohol, they can have a significant impact on the more dangerous type of drinking," study author Stephen Bahr, a professor of sociology at BYU, told National Public Radio.
As part of the survey of 5,000 teens, researchers asked 7th- to 12th-grade students a series of questions about their alcohol such as how frequently they binge drink, how often they communicated, in general, with their parents, and what kind of parenting style did they think their parents possessed.
The teens being raised by “indulgent” parents who tend to give their children praise and warmth, but who don’t monitor bad behavior were among the biggest alcohol abusers.
"They were about three times more likely to participate in heavy drinking," Bahr said.
This was also true for teens whose parents were strict.
"Kids in that environment tend not to internalize the values and understand why they shouldn't drink," Bahr said. They were more than twice as likely to binge drink.
The parenting style that led to the lowest levels of problem drinking struck a balance between both styles: accountability and support.
