What are parents whose kids drink in high school doing or thinking?

It’s hard to understand these parents’ mentality as far as drinking goes, but I’ve posted here about my 12 yr. old who was invited to a party where beer was served. (the bday boy drank so much that he barfed…lovely) ( My son didn’t go to the party). In this particular situation, its what I call the “Fun-Dad Syndrome” where the parents haven’t grown up themselves and look on their kids as fellow partyers. Very odd and immature in my book. I shudder to think what these kids will be like in high school as they’re only 7th graders now! Parents need to keep a united front about this sort of thing, and parents like the ones I’m referring to really screw things up for the rest of us!
