[quote=Anonymous]How well do you know these boys?  I know my son's geeky friends pretty well and would have a comfort level with this.  I would definitely go myself and have my usual expectation that I will pop in, and potentially join them for stuff like dinner.

I would say -- no driving around at night.  When you are in, you are in.  If they are skiing, I think that would be very normal -- most people who ski want to crash with a pizza and some junk food in the evening.  I would have a high priority on boys arriving before dark.

Our HS had several boys killed a couple of years ago -- the boys were not drinkers, but were driving to a cabin getaway their senior year, and went off the mountain road in the dark.  It was incredibly sad.

Everyone says the months leading up to graduation are the most dangerous time in an American kids' life and it's not just because of the drinking.   They are all exhausted and emotional due to the AP exams, college decisions, feeling like everything is "one last time to do ____", etc.  Most of them are living on Monster Energy Drinks and nostalgia.  It all leads to a much higher risk level for driving and everything else.  [/quote]
