First off, Wow, that boy is a keeper! How refreshing to hear about a relationship like yours.

I do agree that you handled it really well. The only issue is, and this is regardless of age, once the drinking does start, a lot of judgement goes out the window. So even though he may have every intention of not driving... a few beers and buddies needing to go for a snack/beer/cigarette-run could impede his judgement. Hopefully there really is someone there who can take the keys once the kids get there.

I'd also tell him not to GO ANYWHERE with someone who has been drinking.
