[QUOTE="Concerned Mom & Dad, post: 706108, member: 21063"] Thank for your replies. Yes, he is 18. He has a car and I agree it's a big issue. The problem is that he is a pizza delivery driver and he needs the car to do his job. This binge drinking is literally a brand new thing. He has been obviously drunk three times, all within the last week. The first time he drank outside our home was last night. (the other two times were last Thursday and last Saturday where he snuck a bottle into our home.) We see him off to work everyday and I'm confident he has never left for work drunk. We may have to tell him that he can only use the car for work. If we do that it may result in him quitting his job out of spite. That will be a big set back. I wish I could say he would learn a lesson from it, but he has failed to learn lessons in the past. I agree it's our moral responsibility to do something and we will. by the way, we don't give him money and haven't since the last time he got an allowance in high school. And he does pay rent. Thanks for the idea about Alanon. I will look into it. [/QUOTE]
