The alcohol among teenagers may be devastating. To assist parents in their role of prevention and monitoring, the new site Info Alcohol & Parents "has just gone online. Developed by Corporate & Prevention, an association of the leading firms in wines, beers and spirits, the internet was created in collaboration with Professor Daniel Bailly, child psychiatrist.

Dedicated to parents, the goal of "News Parents & Alcohol" is to inform but also to reassure them. The site addresses the problem of alcohol consumption among young people by sensitizing angles and practices: "The dangers for teen", "When and how to talk to my child?", "How to help resist pressure from his friends? "," How to react if my 16 year old son returned from a drunken evening ", etc.. As many texts and videos of Professor Bailly educational purposes, to assist parents in responding to early experimentation and excess.

In fact, the experimentation is increasingly early (around 12 years), four young people between 13 and 24 years out of five say they have already consumed alcohol during their lives, especially boys. As that site, the drunkenness and the consumption risk increases continuously from the age of 13, with the corollary is an immediate risk to health and long-term risk of dependency.

So much so that the Law Hospital, Patients, Health and Territories, Bachelot said law (passed in June) includes specific measures to curb this phenomenon, also mentioned on this site: ban the sale of alcohol to minors regardless of the category of alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, spirits ...) or distribution (bar, nightclub, grocery store, supermarket ...), ban open bars (prevention of excessive drunkenness, or "binge drinking"). As against it authorizes the advertisement for the sale of alcohol on the Internet, which is at least inconsistent with previous measurements and denounced by scholars.

Adolescence is a period of experimentation but also for transgression, but could slip normal to excess, including excessive alcohol is a part, as the consumption of other addictive substances (tobacco, cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine, etc.).. A phase that could leave poor parents, regardless of the legislative efforts of prevention.
