Tips for Parents
Underage drinking is the problem…. Be
part of the solution.
When your teen ATTENDS a party:
- Talk to the hosting parent(s) to make sure
that alcohol will not be served or consumed
by youth.
- Make sure an adult will be present at the
party.
- Set and enforce a curfew.
- Arrange safe transportation to and from the
party. Be available if needed.
- Be awake when your teen arrives home. Check
for signs of alcohol use.
When your teen HOSTS a party:
- Watch the premises at all times to make sure
that alcohol is not served
or consumed.
- Limit the number of guests, know who is invited,
and enforce a “no crashing” policy.
- Do not permit guests to leave and then return
to the party.
- Notify parents or police if teens arrive
at the party under the influence of alcohol.
