You are now a 30-40 year old parent of a teenager. How would you talk to your child about drugs and alcohol? What would you want to tell them to protect them or keep them safe or to help them make informed decisions about their behavior?

I'm not one to sugar coat things,so I would tell them about drugs and alcohol without glossing over things,and basically tell them this,"I cant keep you from drinking or doing drugs completely,but if you must try either,i'll try them with you,to help you adjust."
