[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 187136, member: 3907"] In some ways I think having the parental sanction takes a lot of the thrill away from drinking. You're not rebelling if your dad is sitting there having a beer with you. From what I observed among my peers in high school, those whose parents didn't make a big deal out of drinking seemed to be able to keep a level head about it. I think on the parents' part, they handled things pretty well. For example: - For my graduation formal (I think you call it a prom?) Our class rented a local city bus to transport all of us around for the night. There was a cocktail party, a dinner party, a dessert party, the dance itself, and then a breakfast party and a "five alive" party for those who were still awake. Each event was at someone's house, and the parents were all around to supervise and make sure we didn't get out of hand. Our whole class stuck together, no one got completely pie-eyed, everyone behaved well, and no one drove while drunk. Made total sense to me, then and now. [/QUOTE]
