Wrong Message Some parents worry that offering a ride home could send the wrong message and make kids believe it’s okay to drink alcohol. Even if you offer a ride home, you can still enforce previously established consequences for breaking the no-alcohol rule. Assure your child that their safety is the #1 priority. When kids have good communication with their parents and trust that their parents won’t overreact (by getting angry and setting harsh or unknown punishments), they are more likely to call home for help.
