I don't see the big deal about breathalyzers. Like the principal said if it saves a few lives then it is worth it. Also if you are doing what you are suppose to (i.e. no under age drinking) taking a quick a test should be no big deal. I find the ones that make the biggest fuss about these kind of things or get all bent out of shape about being checked upon are the ones who are up to no good or are planning on doing what they are not suppose to anyway.

Drinking and prom is a big deal. I remember when I was in high school around prom time they would get people to sign Prom Promises (I signed them every year even though the first three I didn't go because of the nifty pens they give you). It was basically a promise that you would not drink and drive on prom night. If I remember correctly if you were killed in a drunk driving accident and no alcohol was found in your system, SADD or MADD would pay for your funeral costs.

I know my high school PTA hosted an after prom party after prom. Ran completely by parent volunteers who watched us (teachers watched us at prom). It was a big part of prom. This was to encourage us to not drink. It wasn't lame either. There was food and drinks. We had karaoke. Also there was an area where you played games for paper money. The paper money was traded in for tickets to be put into a raffle. Some people did leave early but the good majority of us stayed behind to see if they won a prize. There were door prizes. The prizes were pretty good too. I got a door prize of good shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. My tickets had won me a playstation 1. My friend won a tv.

In short our school provided for us a great time so that we didn't hurt ourselves. Those students need to realize that their school has their best interest at heart and if they are not doing something they shouldn't be then it is no big deal.
