[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you also need to teach your daughter what to do when she is at a party.  Like get the beer yourself, and only drink a little, like a cup, in sips.  Have small talk with others and focus and talking with people instead of drinking.  Arrive with your friends and leave with your friends.  Stay in the common areas, like living room, don’t go in the bedrooms.

I went to parties in college, and they weren’t very different from having a glass of wine with a room full of moms in my 30s.  I didn’t go to parties at frats, just parties at condos and dorms.[/quote]

Not to derail the college choice topic, but re: the post above, here's one extremely important thing that DD and friends were taught in a self defense class (where the instructor commendably also went into stuff like this):

Never, ever accept a cup of anything handed to you, even nonalcoholic drinks. If you have to get beer, get it straight out of the keg yourself. Get your own, unopened can of soda and open it yourself -- and keep it, or your beer, in your hand, don't put it down and come back to it after you walk off. Never drink anything dipped out of a common punchbowl.

I knew two girls whose cups were spiked, and not with alcohol. It does happen. [/quote]
