[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to teach my girls to assume all men are dirtbags (even though most are not), and unless you know EVERYONE you are with in a closed environment, and trust them completely, don't drink to the point of passing out.  And I'm going to teach my sons to respect women and that no means no and that the law says drunk women cannot consent, even if you are drunk too.[/quote]

No one drinks enough to pass out on purpose. You can rarely control who will be at a party especially in college. I don't believe in blaming women but if I had a daughter I would do what I could in advance as well of course. Maybe we should actively teach safe drinking just like we promote safe sex and sex ed. Young men and women shouldn't be sent off to college with zero drinking knowledge where they'll be surrounded by weekend binge drinkers. They should be taught how to pace themselves, what not to mix, they need to eat first and rehydrate etc..

I think it's great that you are teaching your son about consent. Hearing that from you will be powerful I'm sure they'll always remember that. [/quote]

My son has already told me that he has no interest in drinking alcohol.  He enjoys athletic pursuits and being fit. Drugs/drinking/tobacco don't fit into his lifestyle.  I don't know how I ended up with a kid like this but right about now I am counting my lucky stars that I have (I definitely enjoyed drinking in college).  And he isn't even judgmental about people who do drink, it's just not his thing.

At any rate, I mention this because drinking really is...optional.  Definitely talk to them about watching out for themselves and other people.  Definitely talk to boys about being decent to girls.

What happened in this case is a parent's nightmare - on both sides.  But I really think that there are more swedes in this world than Brocks.

How old is your son?[/quote]

He's a HS junior.[/quote]

Report back when he is a junior in college, especially one with no experience drinking in HS. [/quote]
