[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't/wouldn't serve alcohol to teens. Ever.

I know many do it, and I disagree with the practice, even though I drink on a regular basis as an adult (responsibly).

Why do parents do this?  [/quote]

According to my BIL, they are going to do it anyways, so he wants to provide a safe place for them to drink, and to build tolerance before college.[/quote]

This is the line of thinking you will hear.   These people tell themselves if teens don't drink in high school they will get to college and go completely off the rails because they "don't know how to drink".  It is the stupidest logic ever.  Someone just said this to me last week.  I said I didn't drink in high school and drank in college and was completely fine.

Is very dumb and illegal in VA at least to supply them the alcohol.  You can give it to your own kids legally but not other people's kids.  God forbid anything truly terrible happen too.  [/quote]

Anecdote does not equal data.

[b]Research shows that teens that have been exposed to normal drinking prior to college are less likely to have an alcohol related ER visit.  [/b]

Just because you don't drink, doesn't mean all of the studies that show this to be true isn't accurate.  [/quote]

Link this research, please.[/quote]
