teens drinking and driving

teens are going to drink if they want to no matter what we do.

why are they drinking and driving? Because they can't drink at home. So, what do we do? parents and their kids need to talk with each other and parents need to talk to their kids friends parents and organize a date and time to have a parent controlled party at home take the kids keys don't let anyone leave and give them activities to do and keep them off the road. if they don't have to sneak around behind parents backs the drinking and driving goes out the door. as far as them becoming alcoholics they are going to become alcoholics no matter what if they want to after they become of age to drink. why not teach them to drink responsibly in a controlled envirornment than turning them loose with no guidence and behind the wheel.

Tone at the top matters on this.

Electing 25-year beer dealers John and Cindy McCain to The White House would send a super duper signal to young people about beer, all right. It could set the MADD message back about 30 years.

Look, kids, we got a president and first lady who are wholesale suppliers of the very stuff you're not supposed to be drinking. "Conservatives" elected them.

Where, oh where, are the real Christian voters? Lulled to sleep by their church organs?
