• When You were in Late Adolescence / Emerging Adult• You aren't exactly of legal drinking age, but during a holiday break from college you are

at home, and your best friend from high school, Alex, invites you to a New Year's Eve party where you know there will be drinking. You don't really want to get in trouble but it sounds like a fun event. You decide to:

• A. Go anyway, drink alcohol, and stay out later than the reasonable expectations of your parents. You figure you're old enough to make these choices, and besides, you have a reputation to uphold and don't want to be seen as a "prude".

• B. ...go, stay out late, but not drink; instead you volunteer to be the designated driver. You don't want your parents to catch you with alcohol on your breath, nor do you want to risk getting caught and jeopardizing your college career, especially if the police happen to show up and give out tickets.

• C. ...say "no thanks" and stay in. It's not worth the risk.

• D. You agree to go to the party, and though you take a beer, you stand around all night with that same can without ever drinking.

How would you apply these concepts to the example above?
