Drinking and kids....

[Lynn CC]

These parents usually tend to overindulge in alcohol themselves that's why they think it's O.K. for the kids to drink. They can't teach them any other way, because they don't know what's right themselves. If we go to a function and see that happening, we leave. Not all kids want to be involved in those kind of parties.
Shame on those adults
My DS has been a groomsmen in two weddings over the last year he was 16 and 17. His cousin who is the same age also was in the wedding parties. They were both offered to attend the bar by the bride at one of the weddings. she said "I told the bartender you boys were of age, so it's O.K. to go get some drinks".....she was drinking quite heavily herself at her own wedding The boys thankfully said, they were all set with their cokes. What are these people thinking.
At the other wedding there were underage kids drinking at the bar and adults buying the drinks for them. It always seems to me to be the people that like to get drunk buying these drinks for the kids....they don't want to look like the only drunkard fools, so they will drag whoever is willing into it along with them.

Here where I live, they've already prosecuted a few sets of parents for allowing minors to drink at graduation parties. One set actually provided the beer, and the others just turned a blind eye. But it is YOUR HOME and YOU ARE LIABLE. And these parties turned crazy, as all parties with kids and alcohol do. I think parents need to smarten up. There are lots of other fun ways to celebrate graduation than with a drunken bash!
