This weeks episode of Ask Dr Jessica features Dr Drew Pinsky! Many parents do not know how to approach the subject of alcohol and drugs with their teenagers.  Is the best approach to adopt a zero- tolerance policy, or should the initial try of alcohol be encouraged to happen in the home? And if parents  find out that their teens are using alcohol, what should parents do?  Dr Drew is an expert as an addiction medicine specialist,  so it is very exciting to have his insights on this podcast.

Dr Drew Pinsky attended USC for medical school and residency, and spent many years as a physician practicing in the field addiction medicine.  Dr Drew Pinsky has been well-known for decades as "Dr Drew" for his role as an American media personality.  He hosted the radio talk show Loveline, served as producer and host of Celebrity Rehab, and has hosted many podcasts.
