I just signed my son up for an alcohol awareness class he can take on his computer. He turned twenty-one a few months ago and I noticed that he had been going out to bars every week to drink. He said that he was just having fun, but I'm concerned that he's drinking too often. I talked to him about it and I tried to inform him about the dangers of drinking on a daily basis, but I think it would be helpful if the facts were backed up by an educated source. The good news is that he's willing to try an alcohol awareness class but he said that it had to be an at home learning experience. He wouldn't spend his weekends going to a classroom full of people he didn't know. I found a 12 hour alcohol and drug class online that is designed by practicing psychotherapist. It's full of all the facts, risks and repercussions of alcohol abuse. He agreed to spend an hour each night over the next couple of weeks taking the class on his laptop. There's nothing to print out so he can sit in his favorite recliner and learn the material. I hope by the time he's finished, he'll cut back on his drinking escapades.
