While the focus of alcohol policy tends to be on tackling public disorder, the worst damage done by hazardous drinking in the UK is in the home. According to the latest figures, more than 2.5 million children in the UK, including 90,000 babies, are living with a parent who is drinking alcohol ‘hazardously’. In this report think-tank Demos considers the impact of parental drinking behaviour on parenting style. Findings suggest that the more a parent drinks, the less likely they are to be a ‘tough love’ parent. This report argues for targeted information awareness campaigns aimed at parents to help them consider their parenting style and the impact of alcohol on parenting ability.
