it can set a bad example for the kids. if the parents are on alcohol they can become dead from drinking and driving. The little kids look up to their mom so they will copy them. Think about in the long run like they can die they can get into prison they can make their children drop out of school from drinking too much they can also go to jail and ruin their whole life
good luck i hoped i helped:)

I can tell you from experience...
Mom- If the dad is an alcoholic, it makes her seem like she is worthless and not doing something right. She than gets over protective of her kids.
Dad- If the mom is an alcoholic, he feels like he made her turn that way and he gets mad whenever she is drunk.
Kids- Feel like it's their fault and they try to work things out./Failing grades sometimes
Neighbors- Destroyed property

let me give you a bit of personal advice. my grandfather got hit by a car a few months ago. my aunt lives with him and my grandmother. my aunt drinks consistently and the other day, my grandfather was trying to sleep, and he came in and turned down the TV which my baby cousin was watching, and she flipped out, so my aunt yelled at my grandfather, and he went into a fit and threatened to kill himself.. but he was just kidding. my aunt called me mom so my mom called the cops because she figured if it was a cry for attention it worked.
so.. this all happened because my aunt was drunk.

If you're saying that you can't find anything, I would have to ask exactly how you performed your search, because putting in "alcoholism family social issues" into google brings up about a billion references.
Also, you're in college - doesn't your school have a library... filled with books and journals? Books and journals will be a far more reliable resource than internet websites. If your school has a psychology department, sociology department, social work, health, or any other department that has anything to do with research and understanding alcoholism and alcoholics, that means you have about a billion more resources at your fingertips, just waiting to be taken advantage of.
Better yet, if you know of anyone who's life has been effected by alcoholics, you could see if they'd give you brief interviews to talk about the subject.
