at those who are most at risk. Previous studies examining the relation between parents’
alcoholuseandtheirchildren’spsychologicaladjustmenthavefailedtoconsiderimportant
contextual questions such as drinking motives. The current investigation set out to iden-
tify the extent to which parents’ drinking motives predict internalizing and externalizing
psychopathology in their children. The investigation consisted of cross sectional analysis
of parents’ drinking motives and their children’s adjustment using data from 154 families
recruitedfromthelocalcommunity. UtilizingBayesiandataanalytictechniques,weexam-
inedtheroleofparents’drinkingmotivesalongwithpossiblemediatingvariablesincluding
familialconflict,parentaldepression,andparentingstyle. Resultsshowedthatmaternalso-

wereassociatedwithfeweradjustmentproblems. Maternalenhancementdrinkingmotives

problems. Paternal alcohol consumption and drinking motives were not associated with
children’s internalizing or externalizing problems. Clinical implications and directions for
