if your a parent and you let your teenager drink, i wouldn't think they care that much them. and you can't say, well at least they won't drink and drive....but eventually they will, because the parent taught them it was ok in the first place...JMO |

it is wrong. my next door neighbors have a son who is 15, and he got drunk one night, and passed out in the yard. we had to call 911, cuz he looked like he was dead. when they got there, he had no pulse or vitals. they worked on him for 3 hours at the hospital and finally got him breathing on his own again. he had alcohol (sp) poisioning. i've never been or seen anyone that drunk. but he hasn't learned his lesson cuz he's still doing the same stuff as before.  |

Being a responsible parent is so hard. They say that you should let your minor have a few drinks in your presence. That this will deter them from binge drinking behind your back. I know parents who swear by this, and I can see the logic. But it does seem odd. I'm not looking forward to having to make that decision myself. ~Aussie Girl  |

No, I don't think minors should drink alcohol. Look at the statistics and see how many adult alcoholics are out there- Adults can't even handle their liquor- much less kids. The kids out there that are drinking are not having just one drink to relax and stopping at that. They are getting trashed and binging on alcohol. No matter how fun it seems to you- it is unhealthy and dangerous. Alcohol is a pretty destructive thing.  |

Well, I have a 14 year old nephew. My Sister, Kim, was giving him Tequila, Vodka, and Mikes Hard Lemonade behind EVERYONES back, so he could bring it to his big group of friends, none older than 16, and they could play these dumb little 'drinking games'...Well, my Nephew, Randy, was caught, and NO ONE CARED! Everyone laughed! I was most furious! Randy ended up puking EVERYWHERE...He fell asleep on the grass, and he didn't wake up till we were ready to leave. The worst part about it, is he had to come over to MY house! The whole time he whined about how 'hung over' he was! I gave him a very long lecture, and I'm going to give my sister Kim a piece of my mind next time I see her, too, because I asked her if I could have ONE bottle of Mikes Hard Lemonade...and she said 'I don't think you can handle alcohol'...when I've drank before, and here she is handing it over to 14 year old kids who've drank maybe a little sip of beer before? Then this one kid who I know, his name is Andy, he's 14, well, he got a minor. He was drunk in a car with his friends, and a cop pulled them over. Well, the cop asked them what they were doing, and Andy said 'We were on our way to an F------- party to get more drunk, till you F------ pulled us over!'...and Andy is PROUD of his minor! He has 16 hours of community service this weekend. So..Honestly, I don't think kids under the age of 16 should be drinking. I mean, this weekend, watching 14-15 year olds walk around drunk as heck isn't very amusing. I mean what if one of them were hurt? Then my sister Kim would be in loads of trouble, because she was the one who supplied them the alcohol! Hmmm..  |

Lets face it all teenagers drink so should we make it easy or hard? I am torn here though we all hope that when our kids are faced with this decision " drink or not to drink?" they will say Just Say No! In a perfect world maybe but ask yourself did you say no? If there gonna do it any way why not know where they are? who there with? Know that they wont be in a car or in a strange place? |

Well, this is the way we were brought up. My father wasn't a big drinker, but he'd buy the odd case of beer (especially in the summer), and there would always be a bottle of whiskey in the house in case company dropped in. We were told from about the age of 15 on things like, "If it's a hot day, and you've just mowed the lawn, and you feel you'd like to have a beer, go ahead. I'd rather have you drink it in front of me, than sneak around behind my back and do it." Consequently, there was nothing "forbidden" about drinking, and without the mystique, it wasn't as much "fun". There never was a question about us ever having a keg party when we were teen-agers or anything, though, and even if there were, I doubt they would have furnished beer to all my friends or anything, because that would have been a decision for their parents to make. If you hide it from your kids, they are only going to want to try it more, and in an irresponsible way, also. <glock>  |
