Dalhousie University.

We surveyed 1128 students from Grades 7 through 12 on their average alcohol consumption. Students' drinking behaviors were categorized into four groups: only with parents, never with parents, and also for those who drank with and without parents, their consumption when parents were present and when parents were not present. Adolescents drink less in the presence of parents. However, when parents are not present, adolescents who never drink with their parents drink less than those who drink with and without their parents.
