[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wait up--my twins are now 18 (seniors in high school with a fall birthday).  
I hold a 12 midnight curfew but what they do before then is their business--I don't need to know where they are.

Neither are big drinkers.  My son got drunk once at 16.  It was quite obvious.  Teens (especially young ones) are not great at hiding intoxication.   He hasn't been drunk since.  My daughter (twins sister) has never been drunk.

We're fine with occasional teen drinking.  I grew up in a super strict community (strict parents, religious school, etc).  Everyone just lied and hid things from their parents.  It was insane what went on.  I would rather have things out in the open.  [/quote]

Same poster again.  My kids know I am fanatical that they don't drink and drive.  I have probably reiterated this with them 1 million times.  They know we will always pay for an Uber.  They have left our cars at other houses a few times if they've had a drink.  Their friends are also all very good about this---there is a TON of late night Ubering that goes on.  The kids often call Ubers for each other.  No ones messes around with drinking and driving.

I will say that it helps that they all have Uber accounts and money for Ubers. I know there are communities where this is not the case and so kids are more likely to risk a drive. [/quote]

You are ok with your minors drinking and this is how you justify it?  You are the problem parent. [/quote]
