Dotsie,
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me. As a counselor I know of the negative impact and consequences such an attitude can have on teens. This is a sad commentary on the state of our world today. The point isn't that kids are going to drink, the point is that if you don't want your kids drinking then say so! And enforce rules around that! I really like those commercials that talk about how parents are the anti-drug because that's so true in my opinion.
Children and adolescents need rules and consequences for breaking those rules. When the rules are blurry then kids start making their own decisions based on inadequate and immature judgements. No fault of their own-- it's a developmental thing. My opinion is that as adults it is up to us to lead the way-- if we don't want kids drinking then we need to show them how to live life sober. We cannot expect youngsters to live according to rules that the adults aren't even willing to follow.

WHAT!???!!!
Give me a break -- I'm just trying to get my kids out of their teen years alive.
What they wear doesn't impact that (much)!

Well, this is certainly a controversy. My husband is a restaurant manager. One of the servers finished his shift, and changed into his street clothes. Then this young kid was in the restaurant ordering his meal while wearing a tee shirt with **** you on the back of it! My husband asked him to leave, and never wear that shirt in the restaurant again, even tho it was the kid's time off. I think the kid crossed the line. Another thing is the hostessess that come to work with too small tee shirt and low riding pants with their pierced navals on display. I don't understand this type of dressing, nor do I understand the "goth" look. But, since when does what they are wearing have more of an impact than what they are drinking? That does not make sense!
