since i'm old, I have friends that have kids, some that are teenagers. Friday night I was in a conversation with some of them and teenage drinking came up and how they wished the kid that got caught wouldn't do it. What was interesting was that they got really defensive when I mentioned that the best way to not have a kid binge drink might be to not have a fully stocked bar and not have your kids see you with a drink in your hand on a regular basis. I find the mixed messaging from adults completely bizarre. "it's ok for me to do this, but not for you, until you're older" but in the mean time leave large amounts of alcohol all over the house.
