Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I was so happy to read that our county is buckling down on parents who serve alcohol to minors. I am such a stick in the mud when it comes to this, but I believe wholeheartedly that we have no right serving alcohol to minors and then putting them out on the street. Many parents in this town do it because they think it's safer for the kids to be in a controlled environment. I still say, "it's against the law!" What goes on in your communities regarding under-age drinking?

I was a nervous wreck at graduation time. Neither one of my boys chose to have parties - mainly becuase it was a given that there would be a problem with alcohol and uninvited crashers.

It is illegal and no parent should allow any under aged drinking in their home especially for other peoples kids. I never did and we had many parties at the house when my sons were growing up and the parties were a hoot.

Browser, my kids will have friends over, but not parties because they know what happens when soemone announces they're having a party. And now with cell phones and IMing, parties spread like wild fire.

You need to experience some of life's ups and downs without alcohol so you know how to cope. You need to socialize without it so you can do the same when you're 40. I'm sure we all know people who never learned how to be social at parites without a drink in their hands. I think that's so sad. Most of them are either in AA now, bad marriages, or still whooping it up.
