Abstract: Positive parenting practices such as open communication and parental involvement have been associated with lower rates of alcohol use and abuse in young adults. On the other hand, parents who use harsh discipline, neglect, or have a strained relationship with their children may see an increased risk of alcohol dependence as their child grows and develops. The objectives of this analysis are to determine the correlation between alcohol and young adults and investigate whether the relationship between alcohol dependence and young adults varies based on their parent-child relationship status. This study aims to explore whether those who lack a positive parent-child relationship are more vulnerable to alcohol dependence than those who have a positive one and whether the discrepancy remains consistent across different levels of parent-child relationships. The results were not significant.
