Make a Difference - Talk to Your Child About Alcohol http://librarianbrain.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/make-a-difference-talk-to-your-child-about-alcohol/
Parents are powerful - you can make a difference!
Drinking and kids don't mix. When kids and teens drink, bad things happen, and it affects them far into the future. It may be uncomfortable, but the best solution is to talk with your kids about drinking. If you let them know you think it's not ok, they will listen! You probably won't realize it till later, but what you tell your kids now will help guide their choices for the rest of their lives.
