[quote=Anonymous]I lock up my wine and my liquor but not my beer because that is in a fridge in the garage. This is not because I don't trust my kids but because my kids don't trust their friends.

When I have kids over my house I am under some sort of obligation that I am not supplying liquor to them and leaving easily accessible bottles of liquor in my basement where I do not monitor them, is irresponsible.

My wine closet has a lock and is big enough to put the bottles of liquor. I stocked the downstairs fridge with gatorades, water and a little bit of soda (not a big fan of soda). We have a basketball court in our backyard and ping-pong table. We have a big TV for football, XBox, PS4. The kids hang out a lot and are welcome to the drinks in that fridge and the snack closet.

If your kids have friends....Freshman year they will be faced with friends trying to steal your liquor.

in HS, your kids are going to drink, period. They will also smoke pot. You will hope it stops there.

I don't care if your kids take 10 AP classes and is 1st chair orchestra and is a nationally ranked chess player and won nationals in fencing and you go to church every Sunday. They are going to drink and try pot.

It's not that I don't trust my kids it's that I want them to have fun and to not deal with the pressure they already feel every single time there is a party. I made my basement a safe zone. I don't think that is unreasonable.

BTW, my friend had a homecoming dinner hosted at her home and she said no alcohol and locked up the alcohol. She checked bags at the front door. Kids came to her house the weekend before and hid alcohol in the drop ceiling of her basement. Kids are going to drink, but they are not drinking my alcohol, I am not a supplier. [/quote]
