[quote=Anonymous]There is no excuse ever for parents to host a drinking party for their teens. Quite frankly I never heard of such a thing. FWIW, we allow our 16yo to have a glass of wine with dinner occasionally. At the same time, I would never serve alcohol to any of his friends or allow DS to have alcohol in front of them. Reading the responses here about how parents handle alcohol at home makes me think that (like with most things) kids come out wired one way or another. And short of abuse/neglect, they will do what they were wired to do. If your child is prone to substance abuse, (s)he will experiment with drugs/alcohol, regardless of whether you forbid drinking at home. And if your child simply does not have these tendencies, then a glass of wine during a family meal is not going to turn him/her into an alcoholic. But every family is entitled to its own rules.[/quote]
