Don't have it around.
Using it is too easy when it's available.
Tell your parents that for your own good, you want them to co-operate in not having any alcohol in your home, for now and into the future.
If you can be firm about nothing else, be firm with yourself re abstaining from alcohol.
You know yourself better than anyone.
If you know that one drink leads to two, then three - then don't have #one.

Good luck. We wish all the best for you.
