[quote=Anonymous]My child doesn't drink, but I worry that she won't be comfortable taking a taxi or Uber when her friends tell her they are fine to drive. We have not had this situation come up -- yet, but I'm sure it will. Neither DH or I drink. We have several alcoholics in the family, and a family member died of a drug overdose, so our kids know they are at risk for alcoholism. But peer pressure is intense. I can't say what my child will do in a marginal situation, especially when she goes to college this fall. I hope she'll use her credit card and call a cab, or have at least one friend who doesn't drink with her. Modeling no drinking at home does send a powerful message to kids. The kids whose parents drink the most also drink the most in my experience. We don't restrict our kids from drinking or pretty much anything else. We talk about the dangers, and we don't drink or use drugs ourselves. [/quote]
