The impact of alcohol consumption on parent-child relationships in families of alcoholics.
The impact of alcohol consumption upon parent-child relationships was assessed longitudinally in eight father-son dyads. Univariate and bivariate time series analyses of daily reports for 85 days revealed a number of significant effects. Most importantly, results suggest that not all children are similarly affected by fathers' day-to-day drinking. The authors discuss potential explanations of how parental drinking affects parent-child relationships on a day-to-day basis.
