my oldest son is 17. For the last year or so we have allowed him to drink some alcohol at parties or dinners etc. He is generally quite sensible. Last week to celebrate end of exams he had few friends over and had a BBQ and I bought food, cider etc for them all. I purchased a crate of 48 cans of cider for them - to not drink in one night! They were sensible and didn't drink it all. Today he has friends over again and had another BBQ and they finished off the cider. None of the friends brought anything so again I provided food, charcoal, drinks!
I have now had him asking if they can have some of our wine or spirits and seems surprised when I have said no!! He is a typical teenager who can have a strop about anything! I'm not being unreasonable about this am I?
I think he needs to get an idea about cost, budgeting your alcohol (!) let alone the effects of drinking on your health........but apparently I am jus uptight and need to chill a bit! Aargh.....
