Does your AP have a curfew on weekend nights?

Limit. You just can't drink at all and then drive. And it's pretty much universally respected. Some of my APs have been partiers. Some not. But none of them (all swedes) could fathom that anyone would consider drinking n driving. I do think attitudes about this can be shaped by home country culture.

I think the general situation is similar in Germany. The legal limit for drivers under 21 (and those in their 2-year probationary period) is 0.00. If they get caught DUI they get fined for 250 Euros, their probation gets extended (4 years), they get send to a retraining course (150 - 400 Euros), get a penalty point and if they get caught again their licens goes. Any semi-intelligent young German driver will know not to drink and drive. Idiots happen. As usual. (Those would mainly be found among young adult males though, I think the average AP would come from a background where drinking and driving is taboo)

Did you when you were 21?!

I am so happy when they find friends and go OUT! That is the sweet spot where we go from me wanting to jump ship to loving the program!

Go out, have fun!

Yeah, I did, until I moved out of my mom's house. and I could stay over at friends' houses who'd I'd known since high school, but not just stay out all night, wherever, as I pleased- and certainly not with her car.
Her house, her rules. I realized during and after college that I was lucky she let me stay, instead of me paying $1500/month for rent somewhere

I'm nice- I let AP stay out all weekend, but certainly not with my car.

No curfew
Car curfew of 2am

I tell them that they are adults and should be able to manage their sleep and time management, but if they can't I will step in.
