i know that if a woman who is pregnant can cause alcohol problems with their child but my question is, if a dad is an alcoholic, can the child become the same because of the dads problem. is it in the sperm ?

Could you be ever so kind to let me know more details, about teenagers who are mixing alcohol with fashionable energy dringks ,some of those drinks they contain high proportions of cafeine like cola softdrinks. these products became very popular in the last 10 to 12 years to my knowlege. I have noticed that youngsters, who use those type of mixtures become in a matter of no time easyly drunk, futhermore i have noticed that they drink much faster. Perhaps the mixcture of energy drinks whith alcohol like wiskey , votca, brandy are by no means innocent drinks.I know that cola mixed with wiskey effects the brains of people making them drunk much faster. Dose it brings some kind of a chemycal reaction to the brains? and if that is the case ? how do we advice young people about this partiqular matter? bare in mind that fashionable energy drinks,over the recent years they have become best selers among all other softdrinks. Thank you for your time given to me,i am looking forward to your answer. My best regards to you and to all the members of your organasation Daniel salaman Nicosia Cyprus.
