[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. He's probably already drinking at the parties.

2. He's ationalizing how much he can drink before it's a problem for him - if you have any sort of substance abuse problem in your family history thisshould be a big red flag for you.

3. While you can't  totally control him you really should have a chat with him about what this could mean  in terms of the athletic career,  getting  caught up at the wrong place wrong time etc.

Now for the European problems

1. There is a higher alcoholism/ binge drinking problem among the youth of W. Europe so no you let them drink as teens plan is not fool proof.

2. Your id getting drunk isn't responsible for drinking

3. Getting good grades doesn't mean they don't have an issue with alcohol.

4. Not all teens experiment with alcohol[/quote]
no duh.  There is no guarantee of anything.

1. You could tell your kid absolutely not, and they could still do it behind your back and end up as an alcoholic
2. Your kid could go off to college and completely let loose and become an alcoholic, and/or end up hurting themselves, or worse dead.

I know of a kid whose parents are super strict, starting from an early age.  They were in Ker with my DC.  I witnessed how strict they were.

The Ker teacher even told me that they thought the kid would end up completely going wild once they went away to college.

There are no guarantees when it comes to raising kids. You just try your best to guide them well, and teach them to be responsible, and that includes drinking.[/quote]

And doing your best is not giving them alcohol and not co-signing them going to parties where you know parents serve alcohol [/quote]
