Parent-child closeness affects the similarity of drinking levels between parents and their college-age children
Article Abstract:
Results of a log linear analysis of 126 parents' drinking levels against the factors capable of influencing their children's quantity-frequency levels of alcohol consumption revealed that the degree of affinity of parents to their children greatly influenced the quantity-frequency levels of offspring of both genders. Significant similarities in quantity-frequency indices of fathers and sons revealed sex differences prevalent in alcohol consumption levels of parents and their college-going children.
