OMG it's New Year's Eve and my teen is drinking!!!
« on: December 31, 2006, 08:39:34 PM »
My teen and his friends are over here drinking -- should I send him to a program?

Sorry, I'm just fuckin' with ya.

Seriously he is having a few with his buddies, but hey I'd rather have them do that here and crash on the couch or wherever than be out on the road getting busted or worse.

Happy New Year's everyone...

Is it OK with the parents of the other boys for you to allow them to drink in your home?  Just checking.  This has been a big issue in the news lately.  I allowed my kids to drink at home, but always confirmed with the other parents that it was OK.

Yes Charly.

And for the Guest, we won't be reading impact letters, but I bet someone will convince him to bust out the bow-drill and make a fire in the outdoor fire pit -- just to prove he can still do it.

Just send your kid to the CBS hit show "Survivor", it's cheaper.

Check your local laws

I hate to be a party pooper, because I don't feel that supervised teen drinking with family is a big deal, hell most of Europe does it all the time, but, here locally, if a teenager has a party, in a parent's home, and serves alcohol, and the teens attending the party get in trouble somehow, either DUI or something similar, the PARENTS are the ones who get in trouble. So just a warning to ya, check your local laws, they might be similar to here.

Maybe that was the plan all along. Get the kids in trouble, then swoop in with program literature to save the day. What's the going rate for referals these days?

That's why the rule is "nobody who drinks, leaves." A different kind of coercion...

Of course when I was younger it was different. Find some remote place to throw a party. Get caught by the police. Have our beer poured out. Go home early to smoke weed in your bedroom.


It was similar when I was younger, except that not only would the cops pour out your beer, they would take all your weed (for their own enjoyment of course) and threaten to call mommy & daddy. Sometimes they would actually call them to let them know you'd been smokin' pot again.

Not like today, where it's all Gestapo and fuck up your life and your education and maybe send your ass to juvie..

Ain't it the truth.
Went to an outdoor concert with my kids a couple of years ago. Something just didn't feel right. Took a long while, to put my finger on it. Finally realized there was no pot in the air. There were lots of drunks puking in popcorn buckets.
My kids can't imagine how it was in the 70s when pot was expected and tolerated at all public venues. Police would be standing a short distance away and totally ignore it. They only arrested anyone who might be causing a scene or being violent. Incredibly amazing how it's changed.
Not to say you couldn't get arrested, you could, especially for larger quantities, but rarely at concerts or even in some movie theatres.
