[quote=Anonymous]There are various subcultures that oppose drugs and alcohol. Most people think teetotaling is for uncool dweebs, but if your kid gravitates toward social groups outside the mainstream, you can point them towards /expose them to one that supports your objectives. In the punk scene, Minor Threat started the straight edge movement and there are tons of related bands that also espouse (or used to) clean living. I was personally okay holding my own against peer pressure for drinking/drugs as a young teen, but it sure helped when I felt like I had the backing of a subgenre once I discovered the punk scene. Aside from that, as others have said, set a good example. If you don't want your kids drinking, don't do it yourself.[/quote]
