Abstract: Alcohol abuse is one of the most often threats people challenge in contemporary society. This article focuses on problematic ways of educating children about alcohol abuse, such as drinking alcohol in the presence of children, getting drunk in the presence of children, storing alcohol in an open place, and giving alcohol to children. In our research, 1,276 (51.02 %) of 2,501 parents reported that they at least occasionally drink alcohol in the presence of their children. 837 (33.47 %) parents sometimes gave alcohol to children or young less than 18 years old. Even 361 parents (14.43 %) gave alcohol to their children younger than 15. 455 (18.19 %) parents were seen by children when they were drunk. 1081 (43.22 %) parents store alcohol in feely accessible places. Alcohol is given to children significantly more often by person who is not engaged in the upbringing of a child in a shared household. Gender differences in this behaviour are significant, men are more prone to this behaviour. Changing the social climate in relation to alcohol is clearly a long-term task and will require intensive social, educational, medical and media support.
