Alcohol somehow becomes the runaway thing for people who feel so depressed or just simply in bad mood. Yes, indeed, alcohol may give such kind of relaxation effect to some people and make them forget about their problem for a while. However, running to alcohol over and over again whenever you have problems is really a bad habit, especially if you are a mother. The recent study find that mothers who run into alcohol whenever they feel depressed or tired of being what so called as supermums, will likely affect the children personality. The bad habit of mothers would likely put the children at the risk of anxiety or depression, just like them.

It is very advisable for many people that they should not build the bad habit, which is run into alcohol to cope with their problems because it may also include the misuse of drugs which may lead to any kinds of mental problems . The study also points out that children who live with their parents who have the high level of drinking alcohol may have the higher risk of feeling depressed. It is said that actually the average rate of alcohol consumption is 30 units. The bad habit may be triggered by the demand to the mothers to be always perfect and mothers often feel under-pressured and unconsciously drink more alcohol than usual because they also feel lack of support from the partners.

Run into alcohol habit is really bad not only for the health of mothers but also for the children. There is a higher possibility that children will be influenced by that habit and may imitate it. Children, whose mothers are very familiar with alcohol, would likely be familiar with it and even drugs in the early age. The finding shows that more than fifty per cent children who have mothers who are familiar with alcohol are led to increased anger, depression, and anxiety. Thus, it is much better if you, mothers, do the wise thing to prevent bad things happen.
