[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fine with my child attending these types of parties. I fo expect the parents to be at home and to intervene when kids start throwing up. That's when the kids need to learn that they are drinking too much, learn where their limits are. A little slurring is not a problem, the kids are learning.

I would call the police about a party with no parents or one that has kids who will be driving themselves immediately after alchohol consumption.

Otherwise, I would stick to your policy for your child and stay out of it. [/quote]

My thoughts exactly...[/quote]

Mine, too. Slurring is always, always a problem. Boy I hope my child doesn't hang out with yours.[/quote]

I'm actually with the first poster here - it will happen better to have some control.  The kids of the uptight parents often go off the rails the most![/quote]

Yep, I saw it when I was in college. Ended up having to take friends to the hospital and have them treated for alcohol poisoning. Actually pulled guys off two of my friends. I was the one who volunteered to be the designated driver a lot. I was also the one who had friends with great parents who taught us what would happen if we drank too much and provided a safe space (but with more supervision than OP observed.) Better to learn at home (or a trusted friend's house) than learn at a frat. [/quote]

That was me during college - I didn't drink much in high school for lots of reasons though but when I discovered it - whoa.  Nearly derailed my life - made me wish I had started slower in a more mellow environment.  Not that there aren't still issues at the high school age. [/quote]
