[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. If they want liquor, they can get it. There are certain liquor stores that don’t card. I am teaching my kids that alcohol is a part of life to be enjoyed in moderation, not some terrible thing that needs to be kept under lock anx key.[/quote]

This was how I felt too, until...

My kid who I didn't think was interested in alcohol yet and a small group of friends took a full bottle and did a bunch of shots.

Some of them ended up dangerously drunk. At 14.

I encourage all of you to lock it early, then it's not a new thing after an incident like this. Your other option is to never let your kid be in the house alone.

No. This is ridiculous. Like saying you should lock up the bleach in case the kids drink that. The trick is to raise them so they don’t steal your liquor, not so they can’t steal your liquor. Erecting a physical barrier between your teenagers and something you don’t want them to get is a simplistic solution and won’t stop them getting their hands on booze if they really want it.[/quote]
