A new survey came out where parents in Britain say drinking makes them better people.  In this survey 6 outta 10 parents admit that alcohol nor drugs had any negative effect on their parenting skills.   1 in 5 actually say it positively impacted their skills.  Many even say their children encourage drinking. 

• Over 50% said they drank every week
• 7% admitted drinking every day
• Over 60% said drinking or drug use would have no effect on the parenting skills
• Around 20% Said drinking impacted 'positively' on their parenting skills
• 17% Said their drinking increased after the birth of their first child
• 9% Said drinking or drug use had a negative effect on family life
