[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No alcohol until 21 in our house. But my husband and I don't drink much at all, so that is an easier rule for us to model and enforce.[/quote] Same. We have several bottles of liquor at home but rarely, rarely touch them. I don't drink wine or beer and DH occasionally has wine but doesn't care for beer. We've never threatened our kids and see that as basically a reason to rebel. I often remind my kids of all the good they have going for them and how much they have to lose for a bad decision. They are very knowledgeable about drunk driving, sexual assault risks, and just general stupid drunk behavior to they understand. My 20 year old said that it's easy enough to do stupid things with lasting consequences when sober so why tempt fate. She goes to plenty of parties and has plenty of friends and no one gives her grief that she doesn't drink. She probably will eventually but she's sensible. [/quote]
