[quote=Anonymous]DH is in AA 10+ years now, and I never did AA but stopped drinking 7+ years ago. Too many problems with drinking. Alcoholism runs in both sides of our families.

That said, I agree with teaching kids how and when to drink. My first experience drinking regularly was in college at a hard party school, and if I’d talked to my parents more openly about drinking, it might have changed things and how hard I went at first.

We have two teens, but our kids haven’t seen is drink since they were little. I’m not naive enough to think they will never drink, so I want them to know they can go easy and take extra care if they decide to drink because of our family history.

My 18 year old college kid takes Ubers home sometimes, presumably when he’s been drinking. Or, sleeps over a friends house. Main thing is they are bit driving drunk, and they are too much of a health nut anyway to get regularly wasted.

I also take openly with them about how I used to use alcohol to relieve my stress, unsuccessfully or with great regret the next day, and now what helps is sleep, exercise, and antidepressant and not giving a $hit what other people think anymore. 😎[/quote]
