DS 3 has his 17th coming up, and is having a birthday party. All his peers seem to have alcohol at these parties (beers, wine, champagne etc.) presumably brought by their parents. I don't have an objection to buying him and his friends some given that both myself and the DH will be in the house to supervise (upstairs - the kids will be out on the patio with the heater!) but I'm just wondering what the legal situation of this is given its other people's children. Do I have to inform the parents? I feel like I do but DS obviously thinks it would be 'uncool'. My DS has been to several of these parties this year, and no one has informed me when alcohol was being served. Any tips for party activities for older teens also appreciated!
