The affects and influences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism on family and specifically children and youth include emotional, physical and social development and adaptation to accepted societal norms.
Since 1993, the number of college students who consume alcohol and binge drink has remained about the same, but the intensity of excessive alcohol abuse and rates of drug abuse have risen sharply.
