4 beers and drunk dont normally go together but hes 16.

I Intend to teach my kids in similar ways.

I was not taught. By the time I got to college it was a shitshow. I will try to avoid this with my kids.

I mean it was bound to happen but I will give you the cautionary tale of being the "cool parents" who let teens drink.

When I was 18 most of my friends were still seniors in HS and one girl had "the cool mom" who let her have these insane partys at their house and even stocked the fridge. She was always hanging out and everyone loved her and she loved the attention, and smoked weed with the teens and so forth. Almost everyone had to lie about where they were going because no ones parents wanted them near that house.

Well she had a daughter who she let party and have fun with all her friends, but I don't know why she was so naive that she thought this girl was a virgin but she did. She even let this girl go visit her college aged BF at Penn State for a week.

Well her daughter being the whore she was, got knocked up and found out while she was at Penn State with the BF. Her mom was deviated, how could her angel be knocked up, I mean she was fine with everyone elses kids getting laid at her house party's but not her own kid.

So fast forward now like 10 years and I'll paint a picture of the daughter.

She lost custody of the kid to her parents, after she repeatedly locked the INFANT alone in the bathroom during her apartment partys, and the BF wanted nothing to do with being a teenage father and signed away his rights and besides making his child support payments, has gone out of his way to block her from any communication. The daughter has to pay child support to her parents, and when they moved to FL she tagged along for some reason.

She has been homeless more then any one person I have ever seen. She crys all over facebook about how horrible "XYZ" is after finally finding a place to live, and is usually evicted in 2-3 months and the cycle repeats.

She dropped out of HS her senior year, with her moms permission and got her "just as good GED" and she has only worked as a tanning salon attendant and a barista, and she has been in and out of work almost as much as she's homeless.

She constantly complains about not being allowed to see her kid, but she also won't lift a finger to pay what she owes, instead using the money to fund countless tattoo's even when shes complaining about being broke or being homeless. She's in and out of the mental ward for posting suicide threats on FB.

She is currently being evicted from an illegal warehouse she was living in, for not paying rent and is so broke she announced to everyone on FB that she was now on "Only Fans".

Don't be the cool parent OP. It never works out.

I think it’s good to find out what your boundaries are when you are around people you love and trust, rather than around a bunch of equally drunk strangers who may or may not help you if you need it.

My son is 16. Never had a sip of alcohol before tonight never had an interest in it. Straight A student and very active in football and Ag. Since the corona shutdown he has worked out five hours a day on his own.

We had some friends over tonight and he wanted to drink so we let him. He only had four beers but he is shitfaced and it is quite hilarious. I figured he was going to do this eventually one way or another and I am glad he is at home.

Maybe I am a bad parent maybe I am not. I would much rather him do it here than somewhere else.

IMO the job of a LEO is to enforce the law as written, not try and make the world a better place as they see fit through selective enforcement of rules according to their whims.



My comments were not directed at the OP, but to the person I was quoting. My post had little to do with alcohol, and entirely to do with his comment about officer discretion. Yes, that concept does trigger me.

And no, I won't calm down

First, drunks are never funny so I don’t see how it could be hilarious…

Second, “I figured he was going to do this eventually one way or another and I am glad he is at home.”

Are you gonna do the same thing for smoking dope?

I think you can draw parallels with teaching children to be responsible with alcohol, with teaching them to be safe and reponsibile with firearms.  Kids are attracted to things that are mysterious, cool, forbidden, etc.  If you make something "no big deal" and teach responsibility and safety, you will likely see a better outcome than letting them figure it out on their own later.   Kids are all different though, so you have to tailor it to fit the person.
