Well, I wrote this yesterday, while your thread was locking....
Donna, please disagree! When you throw the alcoholism connection in, everything changes, in my mind. The thing is, there is no question that he is going to drink. That is already proven. So, what is going to be the best way to deal with that? I don't know the answer to that. I do know that sometimes laws exist because they are popular, and necessarily a good idea, or the best way of dealing with a problem. (In this case teen drunk driving.) I'm not saying that makes it less illegal to break them. Sometimes we get stuck having to choose between the lesser of two, or more, "evils". He IS going to break the law. So, in my mind, having some influence on how he does it makes some sense to me.
