Teen Drinking and Parenting Styles

It seems that parenting style can be a predictor of teen drinking behavior. It doesn't affect whether they will drink or not but it does affect when they say enough. Teens whose parents' style is high on accountability and warmth don't drink much. But when parents demand high accountability without warmth they drink more. Same thing applies when there is no accountablity but plenty of warmth.
