[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only in America!!!  This is just plain ridiculous!  I grew up in France and there was alcohol in the home all the time and we got to take a sip here and there.  We had parties with beer or wine and nobody got arrested or ridiculously drunk.  Alcohol is such a BIG deal over here.  I'm not surprised that the college kids go absolutely crazy once they get there hands on 'legal' alcohol at 21.

The parents were in the home, providing supervision and food.  I don't think that this 'party' would ever have gotten out of hand.  [/quote]

1.  The French attitude results in 60% more alcohol consumption and higher rates of alcoholism.
2.  The idea that French teens don't binge drink is false.  As of 2006, 26% of teens under 18 say they get drunk regularly.
3.  And that is why they recently raised the age to buy alcohol to 18.  Because even the French government admits it is a problem.

Calling it cool does not make it cool. [/quote]

French teens also binge drink.  Some parents knowingly serve and provide alcohol.   Some sit in their houses while viewing kids getting high outside.   Some allow them to get high inside.   Some host pre prom parties and walk around while teens help themselves to open bar and elaborate h'orderve set-ups.

All schools do not throw out or call parents when students and their guests are extremely drunk at school events.  All do not close down events when ambulances or police must or should be called.[/quote]
