How cool is it to be pissed out of your head and vomiting in the gutter.......

well i donno, having raised kids in toronto with the drinking age being 19, the price of booze never stopped the underage kids drinking..they just watered down the stuff their parents had in their home bars.....or robbed the stuff...or got fake ids................kids wanna drink theyre going to drink...my theory was never about stopping mine drinking but rather teaching them to drink responsibly and i have to say my kids turned out more sensible than me lol..

now with reference to sheelbees question basically people who get sick are people whom drink to much... i'm glad to say i never do (get sick that is... not drink to much unless i'm out with the family at which time it's nearly a certainty for some reason) and for the record i said "Very" as a joke... sheelbee you are the Knight of joke remarks... i'm just being your apprentice and doing what my elders are... like kids and drink
for the record quinner is the king

we did the same thing with our kids too morgan and none of them are what you would call drinkers....there was never the urge to rebel thro drink.....but when they were going thro their teenage years.....much of their entertainment was happening in our house with their friends...they could bring anyone home......and we knew who all their friends were...and they were always nice kids.......lota effort went into parenting i tell ya lol..
only one of my kids smokes....and shes probably the one who shouldnt she has a heart condition...

I think where there's a will there's a way....I remember rooting through my
parents' wardrobe and finding an old bottle of Cinzano Bianco and polishing it
off alone...it was foul but after the first glass seemed okay......neither of
my parents drank (except Mum had the odd glass of Harvey's Bristol Cream
at Christmas) so I think maybe I did rebel a bit.....but I don't think however
you bring the kids up with regard to drink, they'll go their own way in that regard.

my mother never touched a drop of booze in her life........except buckfast wine...cos it was made by the monks and i guess being protestant she figured it might help her somewhere in her dealings with the holy church...holy wine she called it...i agree about the kids, but i sorta think you take a firm stand on something and ban it they will naturally gravitate towards it to prove ya wrong and see what its like...whats that movie where beth middler said, kids dont come with a book of instructions lol...well that resonated in my brain for years....cos i sorta wished they did
