Having nothing to do with alcohol necessarily, my policy with my kids has been that when I've made a mistake I 'fess up and own it. To let it go unaddressed just adds tension in the household; it happened, explain it as you deem appropriate to your 10 year old, and move on. As FreeOwl wrote, simple yet not easy.
