Don't all laugh me off the site for asking about 18 year old son and alcohol. I know he is over the age of adult jurisdiction but.....
Son has just turned 18. Has never given us any bother, worked hard at school and popular lots of friends etc. Everytime he goes out now he takes his passport so he can get a drink with his mates also found bottles in his room of whiskey, vodka etc. He has made no attempt to conceal them which I am at least happy about. Our house does seem to be a meeting place for his friends and they stay over frequently at weekends and now in the week as they wait for A level results. My son has got a summer job and seems to be doing OK there and goes out frequently with hem too-drinking of course.
I know drinking is big in that age group but maybe I am extra sensitive as my father was an alcoholic and it blighted my childhood although he did not start drinking till in his 30's.
Also worried about damage to a young liver drinking consistently through the week. My son never appears drunk but is difficult to rouse in the mornings for work(like every other 18 year old).
What do others think?
