Should people under 18 should be allowed to drink alcohol with parental consonent?

Adolescence is a difficult time in a teenager's life. It manifests itself in changes in body

structure, appearance and behaviour. This third change can be troublesome for parents, who
have to cope with these problems. One of them is alcohol. Nowadays, children under the age
of 18 increasingly use alcohol and other drugs. More and more young people decide to taste the
alcohol. What are parents supposed to do in such situations? One thing is certain, a child under
the age of 18 should not drink alcohol, even with the permission of the parents.

Drinking alcohol at an early age can lead to health problems and other ailments.
Allowing a child to interact with alcohol at such an early age can disrupt his brain and even
cause permanent damage. If your child gets drunk, he or she may have vision problems, slurred
speech, memory loss or imbalance. Another thing is the behaviour of a teenager after drinking
alcohol. Sometimes a child is unaware of what he or she is doing. This can lead to reprehensible
behaviour which is unnecessary.

Drinking alcohol can be the cause of alcoholism. The child will reach for alcohol in any
situation that is difficult or stressful for him/her. It can be a problem in adult life. Such a person
can cause quarrels for no reason. Also, his way of speaking can be called delirium. All this also
leads to an attitude of anxiety. A person with alcohol problems often has mood swings and
balance problems. Such a person has difficulty in gaining trust from someone. So drinking
alcohol doesn't lead to anything good.

The consumption of alcohol by a child under the age of 18 is a violation of the law. Both
the child does not comply with the law and the parent who allows him/her to drink alcohol. If
a child is allowed to consume high percentage drinks, he or she may think of other prohibited
things. A child in this situation may think that he/she can already do everything, even what is
not legal. The important thing is that the parents allowed it. This could have serious
consequences in the future.

The consumption of alcohol by children under the age of 18 is a problem nowadays.

More and more young people are choosing to check how it tastes. However, such behaviour is
illegal. Parents, in particular, should be aware of such situations. It should be the task of parents
to prevent a child under the age of 18 from drinking alcohol, because it leads to unpleasant
situation and unnecessary problems.
