[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wait up but then again am usually the driver.  My kids are a senior and sophomore.  Both avoid parties for this reason.  I know they'll try these things at some point.  I'm not a drinker and they've seen enough drunk people in person at sporting events and concerts, that they actually wonder why people drink to that level.  I don't know if that will deter them.  [b]Talk to your DD about your rules and being careful with drinks to begin with (always have your drink in hand, don't take a drink from someone else, etc). [/b]It's never too young to learn the dangers of someone drugging a drink before they head out on their own.  Also they should learn to not get to a point of being impaired, being with a trusted friend etc.  You don't want her to be taken advantage of if impaired.  Those would be my concerns more than the actual drinking.  If her drinking bothered you, these would be the conversations I would have (and already had). [/quote]

This. My DD has a friend a year older (a senior) and her parents' rule is if shes going to drink, she has to bring her own. Don't ever take a drink from someone else. [/quote]
