How much should we tell our teenagers about alcohol. Do you blurt out everything? Be honest about all your past misdemeanours and unruly behaviour or do lie, pretend none of it happened and hope for the best?

Today in this funny and uplifting episode, Vic and Hamish follow on from the parenting chat to take a look into how to talk to teens about drinking and how to get your kids to trust you before alcohol comes on the scene. They cover the importance of keeping open the lines of communication and owning your own past so they understand your reasons for no longer drinking.

They hope you will finish the podcast with a spring in your step because you....(and Vic) have a plan! A way to make sure your kids know the dangers of alcohol and are able to make clear and conscious choices about it as they grow more independent.

But please, don't let Vic's mum know about the car theft incedent!

So, come and learn to feel the teenage awkward and do it anyway!
