[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682592, member: 1550"] Im surprised he even wants moocher roommates. Hopefully, alcohol will not become important to him. 21 or not anyone can drink too much, get addicted, and while drunk want to share the joy with anybody, even somebody underage. If there is any addiction in his DNA (im thinking bio. dad here) maybe he needs the talks ive often given jumper and sonic about how any substance use at all, while it may be ok for others, can genetically lead to addiction for them, that they are at risk. I drummed this into their heads since middle school. So far they both take it seriously and often repeat it to me without my prompting. Sonic I know never drinks and has no interest. Jumper has a 23 year old boyfriend who drinks very responsibly. Jumper may or may not have a drink ( I dont ask her) but if so she is not overdoing it. She is going for criminal justice in school and hates pot completely. Its also a substance that can be abused. Jumper said recently, "Do they realize its still illegal here and that youre inhaling smoke, like cigarettes?" It is in my opinion important to at least remind our kids who have addicted biological parents that they are at risk. Hey, it may not phaze them. But it may. Worth a good try, no?? ;) [/QUOTE]
