<p>My son is not a drinker at all. We have a very open relationship and I’ve even told him that if it’s something he’s considering doing, then I’d be open to it, at least to a certain extent. The only problem I see with parents today is absolutely forbidding their children will often times make them want to do it more, and in a more unsafe and unhealthy manner. I’ve always taught him that when he does start, just to be super safe.</p>
<p>Now, he’s going into college next year, I’m sure he will be partaking in the parties and such events. It’s going to be happen, so I’ve always thought it’s best to teach them the safest and best ways to do so at an early age. </p>
<p>Now don’t everyone think now that I condone or encourage underage drinking, but we all know it’s going to happen, so we might as well do what we can while we can.</p>
