And if you look at the data from um Europe, I mean, Europeans have the highest levels of alcohol abuse in the world.
And France has just had to
change their thinking and make their official limits on the amount of alcohol that people should consume during the week.
Um, they've had to lower those and there's been a lot of resistance to that.
And if you look at what works and what doesn't work, what works is having an attitude of abstinence in the home for kids, you know, it's illegal.
Kids shouldn't drink till they're tw at least twenty one and here's why, and talking about how the brain works.

Talking about how the brain works is good for kids no matter why you're doing it, whether it comes to learning, whether it comes to you know, it's okay that you forget things occasionally, sweetie, because that's where your brain is right now.
And let me explain how that works.
But for substance abuse, the brain is so delicate and so plastic and so
so sensitive to outside environmental factors that if we can just keep kids abstinent as long as possible, whether that's eighteen, twenty one, you know, I'd it would be great if we could keep them abstinent that long.

If they were to provide like a keg for the keg party, um, they will often use that religious exemption.
Um there's a bunch of cases of this and
That thinking is just altogether upside down and backwards.
It does not work.
It increases the chance that your child will have substance use disorder over their lifetime.
