I mean, when I was a teen, my parents let me decide if e.g. I wanted to sleep in or go out to a bakery with them in the morning when we travelled.  I don't see why they should have been forced to drag me along if I didn't want to go, or why I should have had to try to sleep through them chatting over breakfast.  (They weren't drinkers so not the OP's scenario but the same thing essentially.)  I think a 13-year-old is fine, provided you trust that they won't get up to mischief.[/quote]

Your story is not a guide in what is the right thing to do. [/quote]

You're paranoid, pp.  No one is telling you what to do with your child. Accept that other people will make different choices and they are not wrong just because you don't think it's okay.[/quote]

Nice try, but the 13 year old bakery story still isn’t working. [/quote]

I posted the bakery story (which is from when I was 14 or 15 actually, I think?) but not the paranoia follow up. But I am genuinely curious: what DO you think the right age is? 16? They'll be able to stay in a hotel with friends from college by the time they're 17 or 18. [/quote]

by 14 ---- high school age there is no question this is okay.  13 is probably okay.  12 may be.  Younger probably not.
