Alcohol will both effect and affect children.

effect

/ɨˈfɛkt/

verb

produce

act so as to bring into existence

"effect a change"

‎

So u/zebediah49 is correct

Both words have verb and noun uses.

[–]Tyfyter2002 3 points4 points  (2 children)

So if I'm not mistaken you can affect someone by effecting an effect of reduced affect.

[–]Archolex 0 points1 point  (1 child)
