First time I got drunk I was in 4th grade.  

I was walking to school and saw an unopened can of beer laying on the ground outside of a bar I walked by every morning on the way to school.

I picked it up and it was still cold, and thought, Hmmm, Dad drinks this and proceeded to open and drink it.

By the time I got to school I couldn't walk up the steps, the school called my Dad and said "Your son's drunk, come get him"

Dad was like wtf? how the hell did you get drunk? I told him and got a good talking to.

It's legal to allow your child to drink alcohol under supervision in many states

OP, my old man told us boys: "You boys are teenagers now. Don't mess with drugs, or your asses will be on the street, a promise. If you do stupid stuff that gets you in jail, I'll let you sit there an won't post bail. I can't stop you from drinking. If you do get drunk, stay where you got drunk. I catch you drinking and driving, I'll take you to jail myself."

First time my and my brother got shitfaced was during a night of fishing with some buds. Beer and shitty booze acquired via a local bootlegger. Though we cautioned each other on quietly entering our sleeping household, I think Lil Bro stumbled into every piece of furniture in the house before passing out cold on his bed. I, on the other hand, made it through the obstacle course like a snake. Only issue was a dose of bed spins when I hit the pillow. I recall hearing my dad's belly laughter (all the way from his bedroom) as I ralphed in the toilet. We skinned by the rules on that one because the fishing hole was within walking distance.

The good old days.

In before a Child Protective Services, the local police, the state police, and BATFE arrive, arrest you and charge you with felony child endangerment, take your son and place him in a foster home in the inner city, seize your home under civil asset forfeiture, red flag you, and shoot your dog.

Put another way, why on earth did you think it appropriate to admit to a crime involving your son in an online forum?

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.

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.

If OP has a daughter and he found her fucking her boyfriend on the couch, would he be glad she was "doing it at home rather than somewhere else"?

Now, that's a stretch worthy of Plastic-Man..

We let our daughter start having wine with meals at about 13 or so. Maternal grandpa was kind of a wine snob. She wanted to try a beer while I was grilling I said sure. It gave an opportunity to teach lessons that would come in handy later in life for a young woman - like don't let strange men fix your drinks. Keep your drink with you. Pace yourself. My wife was fully on board with it, maybe even more so than me.

In the end it all turned out fine. No blackout drinking or fucking the boyfriend on the couch at home. Just using alcohol like a responsible adult. As OP is trying to teach.

Yup. Not surprised to see an 18yr old kid having a beer with pops at the bar.
