As a young adult, raiding your parents' alcohol cabinet is practically a rite of passage
Getting caught in the act is also all part and parcel of growing up.
Some parents let their offspring dig themselves a hole, patiently waiting for them to trip up or do a sloppy job of covering their tracks.
Others take a more pro-active approach to deterring their teens from drinking (their booze ).
Take Cheryl Slavazza for example.
The mum to 17 year-old Spencer took a decidedly unique approach to parenting recently, having bought vodka which displays a pre-programmed digital banner on the bottle.
The message can be customised to say anything, and initially Cheryl had set it to, "Happy holidays from the Slavazzas."

Then, one day, Spencer noticed it had been changed to impart a very different message, and tweeted about it.
"DRINK THIS N ILL WHOOP YA ASS"
The accolades for Cheryl came in thick and fast.
But what did Spencer make of it all?
Understandably, he saw the funny side, and admits it is is in keeping with her parenting style.
"She is always looking for ways to monitor me," he told Buzzfeed , before explaining that she's not always strict and "keeps it fun."
And her tactics seemed to have worked on Spencer. He told the site that, "I consider myself a responsible child as I'm underage and respect my mom's rules."
Cheryl, we salute you.
