CNN (9/28, Holcombe) reports “adolescents whose parents drank regularly or binge drank were four times more likely to drink themselves, according to a study.” The reason behind “that connection could be tied to multiple things like modeling, alcohol accessibility in the home or a parent’s permissiveness around drinking, said Dr. Scott Hadland, chief of adolescent and young adult medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children and Harvard Medical School in Boston.” The findings were published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
