Let's talk about alcohol prevention and teen driving.

Why doesn't this happen in Germany where kids can legally have a beer at 16 without their parent and 13 with their parent?

We've hosted numerous German APs and NONE of them have been interested in getting drunk and are shocked to learn that Americans drive with even a drop of alcohol in their bodies.

The problem IS alcohol prevention and the solution is drinking responsibly because drinking WI'LL happen and kids are given no guidance and parents are allowing these children with no guidiance to drink in their homes. It is all one big circle jerk.[/quote]

Ha ha ha ha!  I realize this is a year old, but I just have to comment.  We hosted 3 German APs, 2 of which were VERY interested in getting wasted.  One was on the verge of getting sent home by the company for some of her antics at other families' houses when drink.  She got injured when drunk, etc.  Somehow she made it through the year, but I laugh that the German APs have no interest in getting drunk.  Also, we lived there for a few years.  People for sure get drunk.  You are correct that they don't drive drunk, though.  It's very taboo, which I wish it was here.[/quote]
