The Science Inside Alcohol Project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is recommending that parents use science to help convince teens that a sober prom is better. Experts at the project recommend talking to teens about the physical effects of alcohol on the body, instead of just asking them not to drink. In addition, it's important to discuss with teens the significant ways that alcohol use can ruin prom night and/or endanger them, including: they may not remember the special night, they may do things they didn't want to do, they may get into fights, they may get really sick, they may feel horrible for the next couple of days. Shirley Malcom, head of Education and Human Resources at AAAS, comments: "A time of year that's supposed to be fun for parents and kids can turn ugly quickly. ... Alcohol-free means a lot less drama."
