<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

As most parents of teens and twenties, we’ve worried about Megan and beer parties with her college friends, particularly when the partying is mixed with driving. Recently, Megan, home on break, had a few friends over. She and one of them went out to buy beer. The friend who is 21, went in to buy, and 20-year-old Megan waited in the parking lot. She turned off the engine of her car, but for some reason left the headlights on. Five minutes later, when friend and beer returned to the car, it wouldn’t start.<\/p>\n

So she called home and one of her friends agreed to go out and give her a jump. I gave her my jumper cables and off she went. Meanwhile, a man in the parking lot saw an attractive young blond standing next to a car with the hood up, came over, and offered to give her a jump. So, Megan was on her way home before Ashley arrived. Instead of turning around when she got a call from Megan Ashley continued on to buy some more beer. <\/p>\n

So Megan arrives home and a few minutes later, Ashley calls and says now her car won’t start. Synchronicity. Same plan: buy beer, same result, dead battery.  But luckily, Ashley had gone with my jumper cables and was able to find someone to give her a jump.<\/p>\n

So what’s the bigger picture? For mom and dad, it was obvious, don’t drink and drive. Megan protested that they weren’t drinking, they were buying. True, so the message was a warning for the rest of the night, and the rest of their lives.And there could also be a message there about too much partying and wearing down your battery.<\/p>\n
