Adults, NEVER Provide Alcohol to a Minor!!!

Parents can protect their kids from drinking by:

– Not accepting alcohol as a rite of passage to adulthood– Setting clear rules about not drinking– Helping their children deal with peer pressure– Being a good role model by showing that you don’t need a drink to

relax or celebrate– Talking with them early and often about the ways alcohol can harm

them, and being a good listener– Staying involved in their lives– Knowing who their friends are, and where they are going

The good news is that parents are the #1 influence on their kids.
