So my little sister turned 15 today and has asked me if she can have a few adult beverages tonight at our brother's house. I know I was drinking the summer going into sophomore year and a lot of kids are at that age. I also know she's probably going to be partying/drinking with her friends this summer anyway and since it's her first time I'd rather her be with me so I can supervise and make sure she's OK. She's extremely smart, straight A student and very mature for her age. So what do y'all think, should I be the responsible party pooper and say no or just let her have some fun tonight without leaving the house, no boys, etc...?

Why is she asking you and not your brother?

21 year old drinking age is a shitty arbitrary government rule and is horseshite (especially since you can fight and die for your country at 18). If you believe she is responsible, I think it is 100% appropriate.

ETA: With some supervision, of course.

Sounds like you should let her experiment under your supervision...

make her drink some shitty beer like bud light or something and she probably won't have the desire to drink for awhile

If serious, no. What if she sneaks out the house, gets in trouble somewhere, and tells the police her big brother got her the alcohol?

Let her do it, get her really shitfaced, then watch her puke her guts up. She'll either enjoy it, or not.

I'd say no. If she bitches about it say sorry too bad you are not old enough yet.

I should have clarified, under supervision would be preferred.

If it's just a few beers while eating dinner or with a couple of friends then I wouldn't have a problem with it. If you are supplying a party or getting them enough to get absolutely trashed then you are probably opening yourself up to too much liability.

Let her have a few beers/glass or two of wine, but not shitty. People who learn to moderate their drinking are much better off.

Probably because his brother would, as he should, say no way.

This is a bad idea. Nothing good can come from it.

In your position, I'd probably run it by one of my parents to see what they think. I wouldn't have a problem with it but it's not really your place to decide that. Of course, this assumes your parents aren't gonna freak for some reason.

My heart says yes, but my state's department of child protective services says no.

Because I'm the oldest and she's closer to me and she knows what I say goes and my brother will go with that.

That's what I think too. She's going to do it anyway, we all did, and I'd rather her first time be with me instead of a bunch of other 15 year olds.
