So DD1 (14) has started asking me when she can drink, go to house parties and also 14+ discos. I don't know what to say really am a bit lost since when I was younger I was having small drinks at 12 or 13 (like a tiny bit of a alcopop) and then at 15 or 16 I'd have a few beers at my friends house. Also when I was a teen there was never really a disco for us and house parties were something I went to without telling my parents at like 14 or 15 (told them I was staying at a friends and I technically was since that was when the party was).
So basically at what age do I let her do these things and for parties and discos what should her curfew be for these things. Also what age do I let her drink different things. So basically what age do I let her drink alcopops, beer, wine and hard liquors

parties in someone's home I think most of the attentive parents (honest) around here start letting them off lead a bit at approx. age 14/15, start of yr10, basically.
