CNN —If you want to keep your kids from drinking, start by looking at your own consumption. Binge drinking is defined as at least four drinks for women and five drinks for men on one occasion, the study said. Over 45% of kids who started drinking at age 13 or younger develop alcohol problems, Dick said. “We actually know that (teens who drink at home) are more likely to use with their friends in irresponsible and risky ways,” she said. “Adolescents are making healthier choices than many of us did when we were that age,” Dick added.
