TEENAGERS' parties can turn into disasters if alcohol, drugs and uninvited guests find their way in.
Staff at Huntingwood's drinks factory Diageo Australia viewed a DVD on the subject, Putting Parents in the Picture, at Penrith Panthers last Friday.
Queensland solicitor Adair Donaldson and his law firm, Province Promotions, first compiled the DVD in 2007.
``After seeing all those good people in court, ruined because they made a split-second decision with life-changing consequences, I wanted to do something,'' he said.
Putting Parents in the Picture tells the story of a couple organising a party for their 16-year-old daughter.
``They don't follow the police's guidelines for safe parties young guests show up and the parents lose control.''
In the story there is under-age drinking and illegal drug use, culminating in sexual assault, brawling and a young person being hit by a car.
It gets worse with legal action being taken against the parents by the victims' families.
Diageo's corporate relations director, Bob Rayner, said the company was keen to promote responsible drinking and safe behaviour.
``It's bad for business if our products are abused,'' he said. ``But promoting responsible drinking is also the right thing to do.''
He said Diageo required its employees to undergo DRINKiQ, a global program for responsible drinking.
