"How can we teach them not to, if we do it? That's always been my thing (and I don't put that on anyone else, it just how I get through the day). The gray area being I might have a drink if I go out (yeah, like once a year woo-hoo!). But I am an adult and I don't drive if I do (what a blessing a non-drinking spouse is, huh!)."

This is our philosophy. We don't do these things and we are open and honest about why we don't. If our children came to us and wanted to experiement we would explain why it wasn't acceptable to us and why they would not be allowed to do illegal things in our house.
