Alcohol-related crime

Okay sweetie, so you know how grown-ups sometimes drink a special drink called alcohol? Well, sometimes when they drink too much they might do something that they wouldn't normally do, like being loud and shouting or fighting with other people. That's what we call alcohol-related crime. It's like when someone does something wrong because they had too much alcohol in their body.

This is why it's important for grown-ups to be responsible when they drink alcohol and not drink too much. They should also never drive when they've been drinking, because that's very dangerous and against the law.

The police are the ones who try to stop people from doing alcohol-related crimes and make sure everyone is safe. They might even arrest people who do something very wrong because they were drinking too much.

Remember, it's always better to stay safe and make good choices. So if you ever see someone drinking too much or doing something wrong, it's always a good idea to tell a grown-up you trust so they can try to help.
