I'm concerned about my sophomore going out with upper classmen and
the drinking/driving issue.  How do other parents address this issue?

And if I tell my child to call me no questions asked, am I condoning the use of alcohol?

Parents of teens often feel they are walking a fine line. Somehow as parents we need to find a way to convey our expectations of "no alcohol" use and the consequences while sending the message that their safety is our number one concern. In my experience, the "no questions" asked does not condone the behavior. When called one evening, the first words we heard were ones of apology but very grateful that we were there when they needed us.
