According to M.A.D.D., in order for drinking laws to be effective, parents need to instill them onto their children. However, this is not the case. Many teens are recieving rediculously confusing messages from parents, peers, and from the media. Teachers and parents think that it is okay as long as they supervise because according to them, the teens are going to drink anyway so they think that they might as well watch out for them while they are doing it. Unfortunately, this only promotes teen drinking and causes that child to think that drinking is an okay thing, resulting in them drinking more than they would if their parents hadn't condoned it. This is especially dangerous because now they then are not usually drinking with their parents, and don't have their parents to drive everyone who has been drinking.
