<We were more into preventing the consequences of the actions than the actions themselves.<

We prevented the consequences of the actions by monitoring our children, and taking responsibility for their whereabouts.

Our child typically drank a glass of red wine at dinner with us, if he wanted one.. There was no taboo about alcohol, and we taught him to be responsible. We never drove after dinner, even with only a single glass. Typically, Red Wine was typically the only alcohol we have in the house

We gave you $20 to go to the movies and you bought alcohol.. Then no more $20..

It worked quite well..
