It's safe not to drink alcohol under the age of 18 and for adults not to drink more than 14 units a week.
How do you start a conversation about alcohol with your kids? Lisa and Ellie tackle this tricky topic in an engaging episode of 'The Unscrewed Podcast'. They believe it's never too early to start, suggesting that parents begin discussing alcohol around the age of eight or nine. The key? Honesty and openness.
Lisa and Ellie share their own experiences with alcohol, shedding light on the impact it has had on their lives and the importance of educating children to prevent misuse. They stress the need for parents to set a good example by being mindful of their own drinking habits around their children. The hosts provide practical advice on how to answer common questions kids might ask, like 'Why do adults drink?' and 'Can I drink if my friends are?'.
Their approach is age-appropriate, straightforward, and aimed at fostering a healthy understanding of alcohol. This episode is a valuable resource for parents looking to navigate these conversations with empathy and clarity.
