That's the key, I think - building a good foundation during the earlier years.
I have a 22 year old who doesn't smoke or drink or do drugs, though I'm sure he's tried some of all of it. I know he tried cigarettes and alcohol. But he's got a good career and he's a good person.
I have an 18 year old who likes an occasional sip of wine, but has no desire to try anything harder than that. She's too involved in wholesome interests to care about going out and getting fuzzy-headed. :-)
