[quote=Anonymous]I think you handled it perfectly, OP. Our kids are going to drink. Whether it starts before or after 21, the vast majority of them are going to drink at some point. And as parents, what we need and should want to do is guide them on how to handle it responsibly. These boys had a few drinks, but they didn’t get wasted. They used good judgment to recognize none of them should be getting in a car with an impaired driver, so they reached out for a safe ride. If you had punished them for it, all that would have done would make them more secretive (which can lead to more trouble), and would have discouraged them fe reaching out in the future if they need help (especially if they end up in a situation wherein get really need help). If you’re more comfortable having them call an Uber in the future for this kind of situation, giving that option is a good idea because it helps remind them of all of the alternatives to drunk driving that are available to them.[/quote]
