A new report has suggested that parents having a regular gin and tonic or bottle of wine in the home are more likely to see their children becoming binge drinkers.
Children who see their parents drunk are twice as likely to regularly get drunk themselves, a survey of young teenagers has suggested.
A new 91 page report released this week by The Joseph Rowntree Foundation, United Kingdom delves deeper into this issue.
Youths who are left unsupervised are also more likely to drink, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation report found.
Researchers for Ipsos Mori questioned 5,700 teenagers in England and found one in four 13- to 14-year-olds had been drunk more than once, compared to just over half of children (52 per cent) aged 15 to 16.
The most common age for a first drink was 12 to 13 and this was usually within the setting of a special occasion and in the company of an adult.
The survey found that in Year 9, students were drinking mainly alcopops, beer or lager. By Year 11, they were also drinking spirits or liqueurs.
