    In Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745 (1982), the U.S. Supreme Court held that “Parent and children enjoy a fundamental, constitutionally-protected right to family integrity.” And in Custody of a Minor, 377 Mass. 876 (1979), the SJC held that “Loss of a child custody may be as onerous a penalty as the deprivation of the parent’s freedom.” Most importantly, it is the public policy of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that a child’s welfare is best served in the care and custody of her parent. See Petition of Department of Public Welfare to Dispense with Consent to Adoption, 383 Mass. 573, 587 (1981). Moreover, in a Care and Protection case, the ‘integrity of the family is threatened by government intervention’; in order to protect the rights at issue, the requirements of due process must be throughout the proceedings.

    The ingestion of alcoholic beverages for their enjoyable effects is a custom which has been around for thousands of years, and alcohol continues to be a popular drug because of its short-term effects (Coleman, Butcher & Carson, 1984).

Clinical psychologists spend about one-fourth of their time dealing with people who are suffering in part from alcohol or other substance problems (Vaillant, 1995).
