Episode 14: Child Alcohol Sipping/Tasting with Dr Rosie Tarbuck - a podcast by Adele Johnston

A controversial topic that may divide a lot of opinion. In this episode Dr Rosie Tarbuck (find her on Instagram here www.instagram.com/drpixielifts) and I discuss child alcohol sipping and the professional and personal experiences, opinions and thoughts on what it may do for their future lifestyle. Unfortunately research is reserved in solid outcome but “whether sipping/tasting alcohol in middle childhood increases risk” for leading into other substance use or abusing intake remains unknown but it may also be known to “serve as a protective factor reducing risk for such outcomes is unclear and warrants further research” PMC 2008 Alcohol Clin Exp Res J E Donovan and Brooke S G Molina. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS on this one as Rosie and I are keen to gauge interest In this field. I’ll put a post on both Instagram here www.instagram.com/Adele.johnston so drop a comment after listening and let us know your stance. As always thank you for listening. Adele x
