Children who lived with alcoholic parents are at greater risk of suffering negative consequences due to the parental alcoholism. The purpose of this study was to explore some of the consequences of growing up in a family with either one or both parents who are alcoholics. The objective of the study was achieved by conducting interviews on seven adult children of alcoholics, three men and four  women between the ages of 19-24.They were selected using snowball sampling. The results showed that there are consequences of living in such an environment. Different roles were undertaken by these children in order to survive the predicaments at home coupled with feelings of anxiety, fear, disappointment and regret. Their view on alcohol was also affected as a result of their parents being alcoholics.   Keywords: alcohol, alcoholic parent, alcohol abuse, shame, disorders.

Three grades of normal propyl alcohol have been purified by several methods. The degree of purity has been established by refractometric, ebulliometric, and viscometric measurements, the best product being 99.65 volume % pure as measured by gas chromatographic analysis. A vapor-liquid equilibrium apparatus has been modified and reconstructed in preparation for vapor pressure measurements of n-propanol up to the critical point. Several semi-empirical equations have been fitted to Young's vapor pressure data for n-propanol with a view to their utilization in presenting data on an homologous series or on a generalized basis. In all cases the per cent difference between calculated and experimental values was less than 2.0% with a maximum average difference of 0.9%. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Thesis (MSc (Psychology))--University of Limpopo, 2011. / South Africa has a long history of alcohol use. Traditionally alcohol was used on specific occasions, and, only after the introduction of commercial alcohol, was it used by the youth, women and males on a more regular social basis. Colonialism and separate development discriminated against Blacks, who were disenfranchised and they were also not allowed to buy, use or sell alcohol freely under specific laws. After South Africa became a democratic country in 1994 all such regulation was taken out of the statute books and all South Africans over the age of eighteen could buy, sell or use alcohol subject to certain conditions. The breweries expanded their markets and advertising campaigns were introduced to target the previously disenfranchised groups. As a result of this South Africans, particularly students’ are rated high in terms of alcohol consumption. Health and social problems related to alcohol escalated as well. The research design for the study is a randomised non-experimental survey design. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyse the data which is consistent with a mixed method approach. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square are used to analyse the majority of the data while Thematic Content analysis is used analyse qualitative data. The results underpinprevious research in that students have the tendency to use and abuse alcohol with negative academic and social consequences. It was found that both males and femaleshave similar drinking patterns in terms of when they drink, how much they drink and what type of alcohol they drink. Students of both sexes were generally found to have poor knowledge about alcohol. Qualitative results suggest that some students are aware that moderate alcoholconsumption is socially acceptable and responsible behaviour. However, they are also aware that there is a problem with alcohol use and abuse amongst their peers.
