He presented his experience based on a recent NACADA research.

According to the report, 46 percent of Kenyans aged 15 to 65 consume alcohol.

It will be an uphill task because it is part of our sherehe. There are weeks I drink from Monday to Monday and weeks I can't.

I do not see it as a problem because I can handle my alcohol. We assume it is a problem when we can't handle alcohol.

Is this a battle we can win? The collateral damage is our children, and it's a big problem."

 Mwaimu King'ang'i was worried at how casually parents were taking the issue.

"Back in high school, we would be killed for smoking weed, but it's a nonissue right now. If we continue like this, a church might have a smoking zone.

We never saw our parents drinking, but kids now see their parents drinking.

Fathers just stopped going to church."
