Right????

God people are so dumb[/quote]

You do realize these are legal adults, right? Some of you are such freaks [/quote]
 
They aren't of legal age for drinking and you know they will be doing that. This has to be a troll. No one can be this stupid. [/quote]

Back in my day we would have brought water bottles with vodka pilfered from our parents liquor cabinets to sleep overs. The parents had no clue and we were 16, 17, 18. [/quote]

We did this back in my day too. Which means we remember how teens who've been drinking vodka all night smell and how they act.  I'm not saying no one could fool us, but someone usually got busted every time we really drank and the whole group paid for it.  OP's dealing with 18 yr old guys and OP will be in same building and can walk through now and then and check on them. As long as they're not leaving the house, and the same group has been together at other families' houses and not gotten into trouble, why assume the worst will suddenly happen and OP will have no idea?  [/quote]

You’re welcome to assume the risk, but I sure wouldn’t.[/quote]

Cool on both fronts. With what OP has said is their situation, I'd do it. And totally fine that you would not. I did do it, and our kids had great times with their friends and I learned a lot more about who my kids' friends were from situations like this, since I was usually on for meal provision (cooking or picking up take out). I actually trusted their friend groups *more* after these things, for the most part (only a couple of friends I trusted less).  And I respect that for you it seemed like a not worthwhile risky situation.[/quote]
