Abstract:
The aim was to determine the extent to which parent and adolescent characteristics and patterns of alcohol use influence parents' plans to supply their adolescent aged 14-16 years with full serves of alcohol (i.e. not necessarily initiation) in the next 6 months. A cross-sectional sample of parents from Victoria, Australia, completed an online survey. Parents' plans to supply alcohol in the next 6 months was significantly associated with their reports of supplying alcohol in the previous 3 months (β=0.51, P<0.01), perceptions that their adolescent drinks (β=0.34, P<0.01), reports of not practising religion (β=0.13, P<0.01), and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores (β=0.09, P=0.04). The total variance explained by the model was 57.4% F (9, 242)=36.2, P<0.01. Parents' plans to supply their adolescent with alcohol might be a reflection of the normalisation of alcohol use in Australia. There is a need to support Australian parents to review their own alcohol use, clarify their views on alcohol use by their adolescent and confidently restrict their child's access to alcohol, irrespective of their own drinking patterns.

02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
01:38Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...
