Washington: Talk to your teens about risk of alcohol
WASHINGTON - As Washington teens settle back into school, now is the perfect time for parents to talk to them about alcohol.
Our teens need your guidance as they navigate a new school, deal with the pressures of homework or enjoy new freedoms such as a driver’s license. Talking about alcohol and setting clear rules should be a top priority, because underage drinking poses a great risk to their future, health and well-being.
The good news is that most Washington teens don’t drink alcohol. However, the 2008 Washington Healthy Youth Survey shows that 16 percent of eighth graders, 32 percent of tenth graders, and 41 percent of twelfth graders had a drink in the past month. Many teens get alcohol from friends and at parties, and 71 percent of seniors say alcohol is easy to get when they want it.
With fall traditions such as school dances, football games and Halloween parties just around the corner, some Washington teens may be faced with the decision whether or not to try alcohol. They may feel the pressure to drink in order to fit in or think drinking is a “rite of passage.”
Parents are the No. 1 influence on whether teens drink, so it is crucial that parents start talking before these opportunities arise.
Below are some tips for parents:
-
Set and enforce clear rules and expectations about alcohol. Tell your teen that underage drinking is not acceptable in your family.
-
Talk about the consequences of underage drinking, such as legal issues, traffic crashes, violence, suicide, and unplanned or unwanted sexual activity.
-
Discuss how alcohol use could impact your teen’s future, such as performing poorly at school, being suspended from a sports team or having alcohol problems as an adult.
-
Offer solutions if someone brings alcohol to an event, such as how to call for a safe ride home.
-
Open your home for alcohol-free parties after games or dances. Monitor these events through periodic drop-ins to make sure no one brings alcohol.
-
We need to send the message that alcohol has no place in a healthy childhood.

"There's no free lunch." Pennsylvania outlawed free lunches in 1917 to prevent taverns from giving free sandwiches to customers who bought beer to drink with them. This led some shop keepers to sell sandwiches and give away the beer.
