[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have attended about a dozen Senior graduation parties in the last two weeks, both from public and private school parents that where hosting the parties.

Yes, alcohol was served to graduating seniors at every party I attended.  Parents were at all events and the kids were not ever over served and the parents checked in with their kids to see how they were doing.

Every family I know has a hard rule that if you have had a drink. or if any of your friends have been drinking, you may not get in the car with them.  No questions asked, take an Uber home.

I guess it's different for everyone. We can afford to pay for Ubers so we are lucky. Not everyone can afford that luxury.

My kid is off to college in a few months.  I'm sure it's going to be a learning experience.  It was for me.

lastly I will say. parents serving 16 year old kids  alcohol are ridiculous and should not be doing that!

You’re in an echo chamber. There are responsible parents out there; their kids probably aren’t allowed to hang out with your kid, so you’re not at their grad parties. [/quote]

Zero tolerance parents are also in an echo chamber. The mistake host parents' made was thinking that these groups should mix. Maybe they shouldn't.[/quote]

Well, yes-that’s obvious isn’t it? If you want to introduce alcohol and drugs to your 15 year old I think it’s foolish but go ahead-the problem is when you give to other people’s 15 year olds without parents knowledge or consent. [/quote]
