cross into the line

Is this natural or something along the lines of that?

I can't you around my 19 year old boy on Friday because I can't guarantee that a 19 year old won't cross into the line of alcohol consumption and I can't have you going to jail.

Thanks

You can't "cross into the line" (at least, not in the sense you mean). You can "cross the line into (something)", however. Something has gone wrong at the start of the sentence.

Something has gone wrong at the start of the sentence. You may mean "I can't have you around...".
