First, in according with Alcohol Advisory of New Zealand, the alcohol (ethanol or ethyl
alcohol) is the ingredient found in beer, wine and spirits which causes drunkenness.
Alcohol is formed when yeast ferments (breaks down without oxygen) the sugars in
different foods; for example wine is made from the sugar in grapes, beer from the sugar
in malted barley (a type of grain), cider from the sugar in apples, and vodka from the
sugar in potatoes, beets or other plants. This substance is being used for the
industrialization for example sale of alcohol. When exist a party or celebration, some
people prefer celebrate drinking alcohol. But, if the person drink alcohol excessively, is
an alcoholic and this influences in the behavior of the children.
In the family especially in the father, when he is an alcoholic, this cause several
problems. For example, according to Robert Ackerman, he said that living with an
alcoholic is a family affair. Because it subjects all members of a household to constant
stress and fears of various kinds, it has often been referred to as a family illness. To
one degree or another, all members of the family are affected. However, not all
alcoholic families, nor all members of the same family, are affected in a similar manner.
This means that the other family members are prejudice for the person who is
alcoholic. For example, the child. A child should be raised by his parents with a good
education without any problem, but if the relationship of the parents exist problems
principally caused for the alcohol, what kind of education the child will receive? The
child will feel affected and cause disorder in his mind.
Exist many children who in the future they are thieves or raiders because in the course
of time, they were influenced in the relation of their family. Also exist other people that
They follow in the footsteps of his father this means that the child drink alcohol too, he
is referring to his father who committing the same. The child comes to alcohol because
wants forget the problem that happen in his family, mainly the father because is the
general person who drink alcohol.

In conclusion, the future of the child is depend the good relation between parents, but if
in that relation exist problems like alcoholism, the attitude of the child changes and has
with consequences for example, the child drunk too, in the future will become thief or
most general, walk by missteps. It is recalled that the world depends of the future of the
child, and if his future was very bad, caused an imbalance and the Earth would a world
with a lot of crisis. So, the father should reflect on his acts and change his routine of
drink alcohol because it is damaging the relationship between parents and children.
The child may lose sight of values, standards and goals because of the absence of
consistent, strong parenting and suffer a diminishing sense of self-worth.
