Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

      It’s better than them going out somewhere to do it. They need to learn to drink responsibly and do it safely.

        Yeah I’m gonna catch a felony charge so somebody else’s kids can have fun…

        Edit because I want to bring home my point: there is a big difference between teaching your kid how to responsibly handle alcohol and enabling kids who are not your own to drink at your house. It is not paradoxical to say

        Mature teens and young adults should know how to responsibly use alcohol:

        And

        Legal adults should never encourage or enable underage drinking from children who are not their own at their house.

          Some parents did this back when I was in high school. The police were called and the parents were arrested.

          They also tried claiming the whole “We’re just trying to be safe” thing, but it didn’t work.

              Cool it down a bit fellas, everyone on this website isn’t from the same country and doesn’t have the same alcohol rules.

                Expand that to culture too, some places it’s somewhat common for a family to allow a teen some wine during dinner and that sort of thing, it’s not seen as irresponsible at all.

          This is so true. My dad taught be to be responsible with alcohol, and he did it without throwing a rager and then begging a bunch of teens to be responsible and practice temperence.

          We just had a beer and watched some kung fu movies and talked about it. My kids will get the same treatment.

          I feel like everyone knows of some dumb parent because they threw a rager, because “If they’re going to drink, they should do it in a safe space,” and then got the book thrown at them over an underage DUI case. I’d argue that a party is an inherently unsafe space for kids to learn about alcohol. There’s too much going on, too much peer pressure, and too much alcohol to be yourself and learn your limit.
