Your son may not drink and drive, but, as we all know, our judgment is not at its peak when we are drunk. He may drive or, more likely, ride with someone who is impaired. High schoolers, booze, cars, peer pressure and up all night is a bad combo. My rule, for both of them, would be absolutely no drinking. I've said too much.

I'm not even taking a REMOTE chance with that. There will be no driving at all on prom night. My son, his date and two other couples are splitting a limo. That was my idea.
My son has never come home with alcohol on his breath. Two kids he played baseball with since childhood have died while drunk behind the wheel. My son is pretty serious about driving responsibly.
