If you punish them for drinking and then calling you, the next time they might not call you....I'd much rather drive them home myself than have to worry about having to pick them up at jail or identifying them at the morgue. Plus as I've said before, punishment for drinking.....the hangover the next morning.....Now I do have to admit that the morning after drinking, they wouldn't get any special treatment. I'd make lots of noise banging pots and pans around and find the most nauseating smelling food to cook. I wouldn't let them sleep in all day b/c they were hungover. They would be up bright and early and I would make sure they had plenty to do that day to keep them from lying back down.
ok i have a question going by what you said. if they are gonna go out and drink anyway even though youve taught em not too because teens want to do the opposite of what the parents say then how can you be sure they are gonna stay put and call you for a ride because you want them to do that so wouldnt the norm teen response to be not to call?
