AT FATHERLY, FACTS MATTER. BUT WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE A
CYNICAL QUESTION — IN FACT, IT’S A GOOD QUESTION, ONE DADS EVERYWHERE NEED TO
FACE. HOW DO YOU MAKE BIG DECISIONS AROUND THE WELL-BEING OF YOURSELF AND YOUR
FAMILY? WE BELIEVE THE ANSWER TO THAT IS THROUGH SCIENCE. THIS IS WHY WE
PRACTICE SCIENCE JOURNALISM TO ANSWER THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS, LIKE WHAT TYPE OF
PRESCHOOL IS BEST FOR KIDS, WHETHER YOU STILL NEED TO MASK UP, AND WHICH BABY
MILESTONES YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO WORRY ABOUT. EVERY FRIDAY, LOOK OUT FOR A
THEMATIC NEWSLETTER HITTING ONE SUBJECT THAT IMPACTS OUR LIVES AS PARENTS AND
PEOPLE. THIS WEEK, WE TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT ALCOHOL AND THE SCIENCE BEHIND ITS
POTENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS (ONE GLASS OF RED, RIGHT?), ITS DETRIMENTS (ADDICTION
AND HEART HEALTH CHIEF AMONG THEM), AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN (IT’S JUST PLAIN
FUN). AFTER ALL, NINE MILLION AMERICAN MEN HAVE AN ALCOHOL USE DISORDER. SO WHAT
DOES THE EVIDENCE SAY IS A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH BOOZE? IT’S MIXED. FOR SOME
PEOPLE, GOING SOBER IS THE BEST BET; FOR OTHERS, DRINKING ON THE WEEKEND OR
“CALIFORNIA SOBER” WORKS JUST FINE. IT’S ABOUT FINDING WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. BUT
CUTTING BACK A BIT PROBABLY WON’T HURT.

TIPS AND TRICKS
HOW TO CUT BACK ON YOUR DRINKING
1. LIST YOUR REASONS FOR WANTING TO CURB YOUR DRINKING.
2. SET A WEEKLY LIMIT.
3. SHARE YOUR GOAL WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
4. TRACK HOW MUCH YOU’RE DRINKING.
5. DRINK LESS AT A TIME. SMALLER GLASSES CAN HELP.

STOP PRETENDING IT’S GOOD PARENTING TO GIVE YOUR KID A SIP OF BEER

"THERE IS NO STUDY WHICH SUPPORTS THE VIEW THAT PARENTS GIVING ALCOHOL TO THEIR
KIDS REDUCES, MODERATES, OR POSITIVELY INFLUENCES THEIR DRINKING HABITS — QUITE
THE REVERSE

MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WARN IT’S A RISKY PROPOSITION FOR PEOPLE PRONE TO
ADDICTIONS. BUT FOR OTHERS, IT MIGHT BE AN IDEAL LIFESTYLE FOR POST-PANDEMIC
LIFE.
