Just spoke about this with my teen.
I am pretty sure that many people aren't aware that there is such a thing as alcohol poisoning. I do recall in college where one boy was taken to the infirmary and watched because he drank so much his friends were concerned about his breathing.
Always a good idea to remind your kids about safety issues. You can't follow them everywhere and at some point you have to just hope that at least some of what you teach them sticks.
ITA. I knew about alcohol poisoning by high school. I also knew that if my parents caught me drinking I'd be grounded for the rest of my high school days and probably have to live at home while I went to college! It's a tragedy, and one that may or may not have been preventable with education. It also could have happened on land.
Do they sell alcohol to 18yos on cruise ships? I know legal drinking age is different by country.
