This.  You are encouraging the behavior.  I would have had each one call their parents and I would have had them pick them up at my house or drop them off meeting the parent at the door.  [/quote]
And that would be the last time they call. Next time they’ll drive drunk.

OP I think you handled it perfectly. [/quote]

Next time they should make a plan. Calling mom and driving drunk are not the only options.

I might give this kid a breathalyzer ignition because he doesn’t seem mature enough to drink safely. [/quote]
Like do you even have teenagers? Yeah it would be great if they plan ahead. Most teens don’t do great at it. 
If OPs kid calls her because he needs a ride, she did everything right. 
Uber is a great suggestion but they may find themselves turned down. Technically you’re supposed to be 18 and a lot of uber drivers would turn down a group of kids. 
Overreacting with a breathalyzer ignition is….crazy. [/quote]

My guess is OP’s kids are no older than elementary age, or graduated from high school so long ago that OP is romanticizing the teen years.[/quote]
