We let our kids and their friends drink at our house, but no one could leave.

That's how my parents where. I turned out great, went to trade school, work full time and do what ever I want. But my sister is a low life now, dropped out of high school, has 2 kids and works at McDonald's while her husband is in prison and she has a boyfriend. Make sure you sill push good vales and teach them how to drink responsibility. Need to find a balance. I don't disagree with you. I do that with my cousins. But I know they're responsible and I don't want other kids to teach them how to drink.

I would for a special occasion but not because they re doing to do it anyway. Try me... Good luck.

I see your point, and many other parents feel the same, but gosh, i don't want them to have even the chance of where i am

I don't drink.. Hopefully my kids wont have any interest in it either

I live in Texas so if I ever have kids legally I can give it to them here.

Only if I gave it to them

No.

I mean, I guess I can't really stop them, because I'm not going to shut them in the house of follow them everywhere they go, but I would strongly discourage them from drinking, not just underage but drinking at all. I hate alcohol and I don't like to be around people who are drinking it. It smells bad, it tastes worse, it's unhealthy, and it makes people act like brain dead cave people.
