[quote=Anonymous]For many parents who don't approve of underage alcohol use (like me), kids still drink when they are out with friends. I know there is experimentation and curiosity. I don't turn a blind eye, and I don't keep my head in the sand. I talk with them every time they go out, about making smart choices. We talk about short and long teem affects of alcohol. Kids don't drink bc they like/aquire the taste. They drink bc they think its cool, to get buzzed, to have fun, to have something to do when they feel self conscious in a social situation. Many grown ups are the same. Its good to be self aware and to coach self awareness. At home, We talk about the 'why' behind drinking and reinforcing the notion that needing alcohol or any substance to have fun/relax is an unhealthy (and often dangerous) crutch. [/quote]
