Drinking and driving can derail even the most promising academic and athletic careers, and there’s simply no excuse for students to get behind the wheel while intoxicated.
Whether your child lives at home or nearby while attending college, or if they moved across the country, you still have a strong influence on their life and their decision making. That’s why taking these steps is vital when it comes to reducing their alcohol-related driving risks:
