Family Day
Family Day is September 26. A Day to Eat with Your Children. The more often children eat dinner with their families the less likely they are to smoke, drink, or use drugs. Compared to teens who eat dinner frequently with their families (5 or more dinners per week), those who have infrequent family dinners (fewer than 3 per week) are: 3 ½ times likelier to have abuse prescription drugs; 3 ½ times likelier to have used an illegal drug other than marijuana or prescription drugs; 3 times likelier to have used marijuana; more than 2 ½ times likelier to have used tobacco; and 1 ½ times likelier to have used alcohol.
