To learn how to live without alcohol, you should understand that life without alcohol is beautiful, interesting and amazing, and also learn to say "No!" This will help youth to avoid becoming a victim of alcoholism and drinking is a good answer to the question, how not to drink alcohol at all. If in the first case to abstain from alcohol would not be a problem, that depends on alcohol to understand how to give up alcohol, have to go through and understand a lot.
The importance of education
Can a grown man give up alcohol, a lot of what depends on education. And here a very important position of the parents. High probability that the man will not drink, if at the time he was able to explain in child language what alcohol actually drink only weak people, unable to abandon the use of harmful organisms and substances. And answer Yes to the question: "If the uncle drinks, he is weak?".
Accordingly, parents should be an example to your child: the word should not disperse from business, and therefore in the presence of a child is necessary or not to drink at all, or do so minimally. In the future it will allow him, being in the company, to refrain from alcohol or to comply with the rules. If he fully give up alcohol, largely depends on attitudes that were vaccinated parents.
If the baby often present at the feasts, when drinking all the relatives, mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, nothing bad to drink alcohol he would not see. Therefore, if peers invite him to drink beer or vodka to get to know new sensations and relax, you are unlikely to refuse. When the alcohol he likes or teenager will continue to succumb to the persuasion of peers, the probability of early development of alcoholism. And any disciplinary measures on the part of parents to explain to the child how to drink alcohol, be ineffective: too bad example they filed in time.
It is also very important to teach the child to say "No!" And this applies not only to alcohol and Smoking, drugs. This science is very useful in the future: the world is full of temptations, and will only be a plus, if you teach a teenager to fight against what can harm it. And does not need to learn in adolescence, when the teenager came home drunk, and before school age to the idea that alcohol, Smoking, drugs – harm, strongly entrenched in his head.
