Our kids have been on their own in college for a few years now. We treat them like adults when they are home in regard to alcohol. If they want a cocktail they could have it but they also know that they will not get the keys to the car for the entire evening. It works for us, and none of my kids seem to indulge very much.

They had a New Years party in my home and all keys were collected by my kids. Every kid either got a ride home by me or my husband or one of their parents picked them up. Not one kid was messy drunk but they were drinking.
By the way husband and I were home by midnight to insure the safety of every kid. Most of the kids were turning 21.
