A source says this: "children whose parents engaged in regular risky drinking – which was defined as people who drank more than 75 grams of alcohol per month – were most likely to have been harmed".
I've no doubt that drunk parents are bad parents, but I think there may be a mistake in the source. If I've done the math right, 75 grams of alcohol per month works out to a little less than one ounce of wine per day. "A drink" in the US is defined as 14 grams of pure alcohol.[1] According to this source, you're a "risky drinker" if you have five beers in 30 days, or if you drink one bottle of wine per month. I suspect that there's an error somewhere in there, and that what was actually meant was five beers a day, not five beers a month. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Looks like you're right. Had to click through a few links from the source cited and found this: "Regular risky drinking was defined as drinking 75+ grams of pure alcohol per occasion at least once a month in the past 12 months" KFitzgib (talk) 21:21, 17 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Historically, the influence of British cultural practises (particularly during the plantations of Ireland) combined with the climate of Ireland have played a major role in excessive Irish alcohol consumption."
Not only is this study highly dubious in this context, as the medical non-historians credited are hardly authoritative on the subject of historical study; but contrary to the Wiki's assertive summary of the study, their musing actually concludes that they "find ... little influence of Irish weather." Noting that "In spite of common folklore, we find no effect of Irish weather on the drinking of the students." 2A00:23C8:6FAF:1301:8C44:F2F6:1E84:CFDF (talk) 14:28, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
