Introduction
After a long and tiresome shift one can go to a pub and have a couple of drinks. What can be wrong with that? The thing is that adults often forget that children are watching closely and form their own opinion about the world judging by the behaviour of grown-ups. In the 21 century children start drinking alcohol at a very young age and the problem is becoming bigger.
