Yeah, much better to punish them and ensure that next time, they get in the car drunk to avoid your wrath.[/quote]

Not punish. Just not allow them at that particular house again. And keep a closer eye on those friends. It’s disgusting how people try to normalize teen drinking. I did not drink as a teen and had plenty of friends who did not either. [/quote]

So you never had a drink even in college as a freshman or sophomore when you are still a teen?

There are many, many people who did recreational drinking in the late teen years and nothing much came from it and they are not adults with a drinking problem.  That would be...every single person I was friends with in college.  There is some middle ground here.  Talk to your kids about how to be responsible with alcohol.

This is kind of the equivalent of only pushing sex abstinence to me.  Just disconnected from reality and doing more harm than good.[/quote]

I personally see a huge difference between HS and college and also between a custodial parent condoning them behavior and an independent adult doing it away from home.

You do you! But it’s false to assume all teens graduate HS drinking on the regular. [/quote]
