[quote=Anonymous]Knowing that most kids drink in college, my kids are allowed to have one drink on a rare occasion at home starting at 17 at my house. I want them to know how it affects them. I want to be able to have a million conversations about alcohol before they leave the house. I want them to know they don’t have to hide it from us and if a friend is ever in trouble that they need to call 911 and if they ever have questions they can call us. I drill into their heads from day 1 that no matter how little you have had to drink, you don’t drive. And you don’t ever trust a friend that has had anything to drink is fine to drive either. It’s like sex (which, no, I don’t allow in my house, so let’s not derail this thread). Alcohol isn’t inherently evil, but it’s dangerous if you’re too young or if you’re crossing the lines. And if you ignore the fact that it exists and refuse to believe it will ever happen, you may miss the opportunity to help your kids make good decisions because they’ll just hide it from you.
