Parents who get tipsy in front of their children are having a negative impact on family life, according to a report.

They are inclined to cause arguments, be less sensitive, disrupt bedtime routines or be a general source of embarrassment.

Parents may also be unintentionally glamourising alcohol to their children by boasting about hangovers or how much they’ve downed.

The Institute of Alcohol Studies said many adults were unaware that even low-level drinking may be negatively affecting children’s wellbeing.

Their research involved surveys of 997 parents and their children from a cross section of social backgrounds across the UK.
