[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 187025, member: 84"] Well...........I don't have a problem with the drinking age being lowered. But then I'm an old fart and the legal age to drink when I was a kid was 18. There was no legal age for smoking where I grew up. See.....I have a bit of a problem with the fact that our 18 year old "kids" can vote and go to war, but we as a nation don't feel they are grown up enough to be responsible about drinking. Nope. Never has sat well with me. I didn't allow drinking in the house simply because I don't drink. But easy child did attend a few parental superivised sleepovers where the party included alcohol. I knew the kids, I knew the parents. They took car keys as the kids came in the door and didn't give them back until the next morning. easy child knew she could always call if she was drunk and needed a ride. No questions asked. Never had a problem with rebellious drinking or drinking of any sort. easy child attended a couple of these parties and quickly lost interest. Nichole has yet to show an interest. Travis tried drinking a beer not long ago.......turned green.......and hasn't seemed inclined to repeat it. I've been lucky, I know. This town is so rural that drinking at any age is one of the main forms of entertainment. [/QUOTE]
