Impact of Positive Parenting Interventions on the Domains of Self Concept and Well Being of School Children

Abstract

The way individuals consume alcohol differs widely. Alcohol misuse, including binge drinking and heavy alcohol consumption, raises the risk of developing ADS over time. Various other factors also contribute to an increased risk of ADS (NIAAA, 2024). The following sections will outline the several types of alcohol consumption patterns. Often referred to as moderate drinking, this pattern involves men consuming no more than two drinks per day and women no more than one drink per day. The specified quantities represent the alcohol intake on any given day rather than an average over multiple days (Alcohol Research: Current Reviews Editorial Staff, 2018). Defined as consuming many drinks within about two hours, binge drinking involves men having more than five alcoholic beverages and women consuming four or more on a single occasion, putting them at risk (NIAAA,2021). The World Health Organization (2012) characterizes harmful alcohol use as consumption that negatively impacts the health and social circumstances of the drinker, those close to them, and society overall. It also includes drinking patterns that heighten the risk of adverse health effects, termed hazardous drinking. According to MacKillop et al. (2022), hazardous drinking, characterized by high levels of alcohol consumption in both quantity and frequency, is linked to a range of acute and chronic health complications. Alcohol misuse involves consuming alcohol in ways, amounts, or frequencies that can result in harm to the drinker or those around them. This includes both binge drinking and heavy alcohol consumption (NIAAA, 2024). newline
