YOU CAUGHT YOUR TEENAGER DRINKING. NOW WHAT?

4. Do sobriety checks
Although teenage drinking is common, it can also be dangerous. Your child could get hurt while under the influence or develop a problem with alcohol that will stay with her for a lifetime. Now is the time to nip this in the bud. When your teen’s curfew is approaching, sit in the living room and watch television or read a book. Talk to her when she gets home so you can look for signs of intoxication.
