I have a 17 and 18 yo. We allow them to drink under our supervision but neither do.

I mean, they're doing bogga sugga off strippers asses anyway I think just hiring the strippers and buying the coke myself is smart so I know I can attest to the quality of both in a controlled environment.

Got a few 12 packs so I’d have some beers on hand to drink. Woke up first day and was down a few beers. They’re all teenagers,
First of all, you kinda left out a lot of details. Like their specific age (big difference between 13 year old and 18 year old), how many exact beers are missing and how many kids are there….
If it’s a bunch of 14/15yr olds, I would gather the group and let them know you found beer missing and if you find a single one drinking again, you’re calling their parents to come down and get them. Letting a 14/15yr old drink that is not your child is purely irresponsible
If it’s a bunch of 17/18yr olds, I would probably just talk to my child and let him know you found beer missing. I’d tell my child I don’t mind if you all are sharing a couple beers, but absolutely no one is to leave the place under any circumstance or you’ll call their parents
Personally, I wouldn’t have bought that much beer and would tell the kids there is absolutely no drinking while on this vacation, regardless of what your parents allow at home. Then tell them I’m not going to be responsible for anything happening. If you have a problem with that, I’m sorry, but you can call your parents to come down or pick you up

When one gets an accident and kills someone then you’re fricked- whether you intentionally provided or not. Get your head straight.
This is the absolute answer. Allowing under age kids to drink under your roof is and always will be a crap shoot. It’s that one time when one of those with not a fully formed brain does something idiotic (and they will) and there ends up being an injury or death. If it happens under your watch your life just changed in an instance and not for the good. Yep I was the boring parent that didn’t allow any fun at the time according to my teenaged daughter but now as a fully functioning self sufficient young woman (yep no pics) she understands now why her mom and I were so strict about this. Many parents don’t want to be the parent. They want to be a friend and be the cool parent. Step up and lock down the liquor. And for the record I care not that I sound like the “get off my lawn” old man.

We allowed our 19 yo twins who start college in August to indulge at the beach last week.
This is the first “open bar” for them……beer.
They handled it very responsibly.

You don’t necessarily have to watch like a hawk to make sure your son and his buddy didn’t grab a couple beers but never ever knowingly furnish alcohol to to minors that aren’t your children. At a bare minimum maintain plausible deniability.

I had great parents and I was a disrespectful rebellious little shite for a short period. There’s no parenting that’s going to make your kid skip this phase if it’s in their nature.

absolutely not due to the risks
Way to risky for me. I’d rather swim with sharks or BASE jump. Those are both lower risk than some Karen mom raising a huge fuss at the low risk end and a kid doing something stupid and me getting sued at the high end.
You think the parents of the U high cruise ship jumper are still ok with their minor drinking?

I remember way back when thinking the try hard "cool" parents were creepy. That is probably how kids today look at it, too.

Its one thing to let your own teenager have a couple of beers at home if they’re not going anywhere else, but way too much liability (both criminal and civil) to knowingly allow your kid’s underage friends to drink while at your house or on a trip with you.

Well every kid is different. You can parent intentionally or unintentionally and most- not all, but most- will still do something you wish they wouldn’t. It’s human nature.
I’m just glad me and my friends had a place to go and drink without being on the road. The parent who provided this luxury took a lot of risk and responsibility and his only rule was once you started drinking you couldn’t leave.
It probably saved our lives. But things were different in the 80s. For one, Karen’s weren’t a thing yet. And parents weren’t helicoptering over their kids with phone apps. Cause there were no cell phones.

My opinion is that the law is the law and I do want to respect that, but I also believe that 21 is a relatively arbitrary number and if you’re old enough to fight and die for the country you are old enough to show you can drink responsibly. That said, I believe it is a case by case basis. Not all people handle alcohol the same and the hyper strict position taken by my dad that I was not 21 and there were no exceptions was not well received by me and seemed hypocritical and heavy handed. It only made me more curious about drinking because I knew my dad partied in high school a lot. I plan to introduce my kids to having a very modest amount of alcohol when it is safe and they aren’t going anywhere.

Sure, if you’re in the military. Regular citizens don’t get that luxury because they aren’t fighting and dying for anything

Sounds like you are an alcoholic. Seek help.
Posted on 6/9/23 at 7:22 am to Proximo
They could if they wanted
Posted on 6/9/23 at 7:24 am to Gee Grenouille
I’d never provide alcohol for anyone outside my immmediate family who is under 21. Not worth the risk.
