21. But by then, hopefully he'll have a place of his own.

Meh

depends on the occasion and how much him and his friends drink

either way, it's a slippery slope

my parent's let me around 18-19, but I stayed home and didn't leave this house/drink and drive; it allowed me and my friends to have a place to drink responsibly and develop good drinking habits that most young adults learn till later

of course from time to time there would be some girls that show up that ended up drinking way to much and then we canwould have to call their friends to come pick them up and take them home rather than deal with the wrath of their parents

I ended up moving out almost right after high school though into my own place, so it wasn't a big deal for me and I was the only person that had to worry about the complications from underage drinking at my residence... there we're a couple of times I thought the police we're gonna break down my door trying to catch people drinking at my apartment

Not necessarily.

The laws vary by state, but in general most states allow supervised alcohol consumption in private settings.

consumption =\= purchase

There is no right answer to this because it depends on how mature your son is

Yeah, don't like the idea of liability exposure with other kids

It depends on the kid, but I'd be okay if they were 18.

I think the Europeans have it right. Many drink wine with dinner and the kids often do it from an early age. So drinking isn't some huge coming of age/right of passage thing. Its just no big deal.
