But if you take one thing away from here today, I hope it's how important having honest conversations with your child are. The double-standards of drinking and saying don't drink are obvious to your child, even if we prefer they weren't. And while this book is geared towards people who want to quit drinking, it's packed full of research and information about how and why people drink.

You won't regret reading it and you'll be able to help your child make better decisions around alcohol because of it. I promise.
