[quote=Anonymous]We do not serve or buy alcohol for our kid's friends, but at home, we allow our senior to try wine, champagne, etc at family holidays and celebrations.  We also allow them a Pina colada on vacation. We live in nyc where hs kids do go out and drink. I dont like it, but its the reality. Thankfully, kids dont drive here. We have had many conversations about alcohol and safety, trying to help them understand risky behavior, moderation, peer pressure, reasons why people drink, etc. We don't glamorize alcohol and they have seen friends get sick which has been a good life and safety lesson. From what i understand, Most of the dangerous binge drinking happens when kids are at some kid's home vs out at a bar/restaurant. Many parents turn a blind eye.  My kid knows my concerns. I want them to have facts so they can make informed and smart choices when with friends and as they approach college next fall. I also want to maintain open communication so they know they can always come to me for help. [/quote]
