The best way to reduce underage drinking and keep our youth safe is to examine our own relationship with alcohol

Posted January 12th, 2010

The website http://www.checkyourdrinking.net is a great online tool to evaluate your relationship with alcohol in a realistic and straightforward manner.  The website collects self-reported data on drinking habits and provides users with a report comparing their drinking to national averages, information on drinking risks, an estimation of their annual spending on alcohol, a calculation of how much time the user spends intoxicated each year, and safe-drinking guidelines.  By evaluating our own behaviors as parents, it may open our eyes to the example we are setting for our children.
