[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Are the parents present at these parties? [/b] Just from a liability perspective, I'm flabbergasted.  Especially with so many of the parents being lawyers.  I know these parties do exist and it makes me sad.  Why on earth are people encouraging their much to young teenagers to be drinking?  Study after study shows how dangerous drinking in highschool is both in the short and long term.

Is this born out of a need for the parents to feel cool?  Parents who provide alcohol to minors please explain your though process.  I'm a parent who will call the cops on one of these parties.  It's just fundamentally wrong on so many levels to be serving 14 to 18 year old alcohol.

OP here. 
YES!!!  They are hosting the parties, with ice buckets on the patio and are handing the kids drinks. 
This is not basement drinking or the sort. 
None of these families are Europeans so please don't derail the thread with that line of thinking.  Ironically, if anyone is a "European" I am (immigrated as a very young child).

he pool party yesterday was for 10th grade girls.  The mom served 16 year old girls hard seltzer from the side of their pool.

Were you there? Did you say anything to the mom?  I'm really disgusted.  I feel sorry for my kids, yours, and everyone else's.  Very backwards times.  Also of note, when kids drink, or anyone from that matter, their judgement gets thrown out the window which means they are more likely to try things like drugs that may very well be laced with fentanyl which means they could die.  Think about that too cool parents who serve alcohol to minors.  [/quote]

Same thing can happen to anyone drinking alcohol, anywhere.[/quote]

Ok. In that case let's just offer drugs and alcohol at middle school and elementary school graduations too. [/quote]
