[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 710573, member: 21066"] This is my concern when my son gets older. His bio mom was severely addicted to cocaine, which means he's at high risk for addiction. We've tried to explain to him that he will never be able to smoke pot, drink, etc. without risk. Even just having a beer could lead him down that road. Once he gets in high school, and especially college, he will be socially ostracized for not participating in that lifestyle. Based on my own college experience, you won't have any friends unless you're a heavy drinker and party girl. I was a very light drinker and lost many friends because of that. It's not as bad at a Christian college, but it still happens. Just keep trying to educate your son about genetic addiction. You may have to show him the data and well documented evidence of this.
