I wouldn't make a big deal about drinking but I would make a big deal about how disrespectful he behaved.

Future CR Jr. will not be drinking or being promiscuous. Tell em like my dad told me: "You want to make grown up choices then go be grown. You won't be living here though. Grown people don't live with their parents."

Pretty sound argument I always thought.

Isn't the drinking age 21?

Would you like to teach your son that some laws you can break and others you follow? I always thoughts it's a pretty good idea to follow all the laws and not be a criminal.

How exactly did you catch him drinking? Did you come home and find him drinking one of your beers or did he come home hammered one night?


Caught him sneaking vodka from my stash...during the middle of the day...by himself.

You obviously don't have kids. It's more than obvious from your other posts that you don't like me, but this is about my child....not me. Hate all you want.

I know I'm derailing the thread, but Charlie is a terrible poster (and I suspect a liar), so I don't feel bad.


I hope you don't ever have to deal with this problem....even you.

I don't hate you (though I know you are responding to Dojo), I just think that you are engaging in creative writing, based on your previous posts.

Its a pretty bad schtick. But the fact that he deleted all his post in the alcoholic cry for help thread he started makes me wonder.


Someone IRL approached me the day after I posted that to tell me that they read it. That is why I deleted that.

Rather than be immature about it and respond to the situation based on your emotions realize that your kid is going to start engaging in activities that you might not like. Instead show and teach him to drink responsibly as much as you can. When he does something stupid because of drinking (i.e. dui) then come down with the hammer.

Regardless whether you like it or not he is still going to drink he just wont be open about it and he will do it behind your back. To me, I think its more important to teach responsibility and keep communication open with the kid rather than punish him for something that's completely ok when engaged responsibly.

Well based on your own alcoholism and drug addiction I'm sure your words and anger will be well received.


Bingo. Comes here talking about how he pounds hard liquor every night and then is surprised when his kid drinks. What a hypocrite. What did you think your kid was going to do, Charlie?

I started drinking at 15 and I turned out ok.

I wouldn't sweat it too bad. Tell the kid to stay away from liquor and never, ever get behind the wheel with a drunk driver (including himself).

If you make him hide it, you'll cause even more problems. Teach him responsibility, not fear. It's a privilege that is earned.


Good advice

There are things I have done in my life that I do not want my son to do. I don't particularly want him to repeat all of my mistakes. I don't find that hypocritical.


I think 15 is early. I didn't start until I was 17. But I started smoking weed before then, like 16. He's in high school, this stuff is going to start happening.

He should be punished. But don't expect that to stop him; his friends are obviously doing it too or else he wouldn't be. He will continue, so you need to teach him responsibility with it.

Luckily he isn't driving yet.

When you admit to coming home and getting hammered every night presumably in front of your family?

Honestly if you did worse things at his age I'd take it easy on him.
