I'm not a punishment type parent, as poor behaviour/choices usually have a consequence, even if it's just me getting cross. Anyway...
DS2 (Y8) has joined a "band". The band consists of 3 boys who are all in Y10, one of them being the son of a good friend of mine. I had no idea who the other two boys were, and they all went to one of the lads dads houses on a Saturday afternoon to practice for a couple of hours. Apparently the dad had a drum kit set up, etc, so it was convenient. After a few weeks the band wanted to practice at our house, which was fine by us.
DS told the other band members his drum kit was kept in "the party shed". Indeed the drum kit is in our shed, which has electricity and a special light bulb with changes colour (apparently, DH and DS are far more excited about this than me) Anyway, during band practice in "the party shed" my friends DS suggested they needed some alcoholic drinks. DS2, being the hospitable kind, found a bottle of vodka, and served it to the other band members - neat. Not much, but that's not the point.
I only found out about this 3 weeks later when I noticed the vodka bottle was less full than previously (DS1 is the biggest tell-tale ever). And they must only have had one shot each.
At the moment I'm just letting it go...but I wouldn't be happy if DS had gone to another house and had a swig of vodka....do I just verbally rant to DS2 how out of order this was? I feel I should do something.
