[QUOTE="Stressed2theHilt, post: 90898, member: 1409"] Drinking was everywhere even when I was a kid. I don't think anyone will prevent teens from drinking or experimenting with some illegal substance. It is a fact of life I have no choice but to accept. I've only caught my oldest come home drunk once although I'm sure there were other times he's come in buzzed but covered it well. The first and only time he came stumbling into the house looking all disheveled with some snow and leaves on his shoulders. At first I thought he got clocked until he made it to the banister and started giggling then dropped. I got him up to his room, stripped him down to his boxers and opened his bedroom windows a bit. I figured when he could pull the blankets on him, I wouldn't have to worry about him puking and aspirating. Yeah, he was that drunk. Over the next 4 hours I entertained myself at his expense. Hot pink nail polish on his finger nails and toe nails. Two coats plus a clear coat. Have to do it right ya know. [img]:wink:[/img] Needing something else to do I grabbed my fine and thick tip multi-color packs of Sharpie markers and proceeded to tattoo his butt. First thing in the morning I called his wrestling coach to let him know what happened and to work him til he puked. The coach happily complied. The boy has not come home in that state again. Was that the best way to handle the situation? In this case yes. This was a lot more effective that popping a blood vessel from yelling at him. He'd tune out anything I'd have to say anyway. Plus everytime he showered after wrestling, his buddies didn't let him forget what happened. [/QUOTE]
