[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are toddlers, but you bet I'll lock that up when they're older.

So many of these posts are SO naive. I was the good kid who never had parties, never went to parties, was bookish, nerdy, never got into trouble, straight As, super responsible. I had a small group of friends, all similar in behavior. We had sleepovers at each other's houses from time to time, never anything anyone would describe as a party. All supervised by parents, they were always home. And all in a completely different area of the house then where the liquor cabinet is.

But I was sneaking booze out of my parent's liquor cabinet starting at 15 to drink with my friends at each other's houses. By the time I graduated high school, that liquor cabinet was all bottles filled with water.

And of COURSE I knew the rules and expressed to my parents that I had no interest in drinking. Put on a good act about how "It tastes so gross!" We weren't "hanging out by the liquor" - it takes 1 minute to pour liquor into a water bottle and take it to another room. Eventually the host parents would fall asleep, and we would stay up and drink. Quietly! No rambunctious behavior besides what would be expected for three teen girls having a sleepover. But we were plastered.

So, yeah. Lock your liquor, folks. [/quote]
I was also a bookish and very responsible kid but I never stole my parent’s liquor. [/quote]

My kids are now 25 and 20 and never stole from ours either, and our house rivals most well stocked high end bars. [/quote]

+1. My kids are now adults and never stole from us.  I am fully aware that they drank-I saw their fake IDs and even bought them liquor in college, but they never stole from us.  [/quote]

You're naive. [/quote]

My parents had a liquor bar and I never drank from it.  Not everyone is interested or attracted to booze.  You’re naive. [/quote]
