If we lived in a world where most teenagers didnt drink every weekend, one drink would be enough to get them d*unk.
Never understood why people laugh at lightweights, they get d*unk quicker so get to start having fun quicker and they save loads of money since they dont need many drinks. |

From the Citizens Advice Website... I thought it was 16 
Any child aged five or over can drink alcohol at home or on other private premises but children under the age of five can only drink alcohol on a doctor's advice for health reasons. |

"From the Citizens Advice Website... I thought it was 16
Any child aged five or over can drink alcohol at home or on other private premises but children under the age of five can only drink alcohol on a doctor's advice for health reasons. "
From direct.gov.uk:
What the law says
It is against the law:
•to be d*unk in charge of a child under seven in a public place or on licensed premises
•to sell alcohol to someone under 18, anywhere
•for an adult to buy or attempt to buy alcohol on behalf of someone under 18
•for someone under 18 to buy alcohol, attempt to buy alcohol or to be sold alcohol in any circumstances (unless acting at the request of the police or a weights and measures inspector)
•for someone under 18 to drink alcohol in licensed premises, with one exception - 16 and 17 year olds accompanied by an adult can drink but not buy beer, wine and cider with a table meal
•for an adult to buy alcohol for a person under 18 for consumption on licensed premises, except as above

Drinking at home:
It is not illegal for a person under 18 to drink alcohol at home or at a friend’s house. Parents can choose to give young people some of their own alcohol when at home.
Apologies to the OP, I was ignorant of the law.  |

For my daughter's 18th we filled a couple of sinks in the kitchen with ice and stuck loads of cans of lager and bottles of wine in them.
The kids didn't touch any till I went into the kitchen to see how they were doing.
I had to tell them to help themselves .... even then they still asked "for us?"  Bless 'em. |

My parents wouldnt allow me any alcohol and it really didnt bother me... i could have a brilliant time without it.
Find it a shame that children and adults need it to have a good time. |

Always offered my daughter a glass of wine when sitting down to dinner and shes always refused she may have the odd bottle of cider and in bottle i mean small bottle....id raher her know shes allowed a.drink in my company than go out with her friends and sneak a drink altho as ive brought her up to know better not to sneak.....most of her friends have just turned 16 and have had parties each time alcohol as been at a party she txts me to ask if its ok to have one....i respect and trust her enough to enjoy the one.No she doesnt need a drink to enjoy herself and neither do i ...but teaching them to be responsible is in my opinion part of my job being a parent.And before anyone jumps on me No she doesnt drink regular its the odd occassion but i know ive a responsible young lady.....and op dont blame for the lie in.....id ask em for a brew in bed too be rude not to   |

Guess the follow up in a years time would something like...
What can I do about my 17 year old, she goes out, drinking and carrying on causing me no end of grief, what can I do, she will kill her self as this rate...
Why, why, do people need alcohol to have fun, as they so uptight that they can't have fun normal?
And before you start, I do enjoy a drink, 2-4 is good for me and when I get to the 4th I tell dirty jokes, and if I get to the 5th, I start trying do the dirty jokes |

actually no starting but suggest u speak to italians and french and spanish people that actually have very little teenage d*unk and disorderly behaviour but allow there children to drink from a young age i think u r confusing pub culture we have in england with drinking early |

No, it's do how we see d*unks in the UK.
We laugh at them at first, then we tut at them then we think bloody piss heads.
D*unkenness in the countries you mentioned is frowned up by the the community and the police, hence it's not a major problem (Tourist areas are exempt, foreigners see [to them]) |

I love the way that everyone is a 'perfect' parent.
Drinking safely is not just about knowing the effects of alcohol.
It doesn't logically follow that because someone has been allowed the odd drink or two at family meals, they will not abuse it in the fun heady peer pressured moments that they are able to spend out of their parents sight.
That's almost like saying, My daughter won't get pregnant or even want sex as we let her spy on us and watch porn. Or ..my daughter won't get fat as I let her eat cream cake n crisps all weekend at home.
I never swore in my family home once. I never stopped when with friends. It was what we did, as was drinking, stealing , smoking and fucking.
The O.P. hasn't broken any laws by allowing under eighteens a drink at home but if i was the parent of an underage child going to a party I'd be really pissed off if they were given alcohol.
An honest question... 'Why don't parents make youngsters wait until they are eighteen? Why do they break with safety precautions and then moan like hell when their are kids around off licences, throwing up , causing damage or having sex in dingy damp places or attacking the public when drink fuelled?
Easy to blame kids when it's really adults behind it. |

Maybe Wishy, but i'm hoping the other parents gave their permission in advance for their kids to be under the influence away from their care! |

You are so right Granny .... I on the other hand got drop down d*unk, pissed out my head, vomited over the dog and pissed on the neighbours privets, had raucous sex and screamed at my kids each morning because of a hangover headache. Every weekend! ......... they totally avoid getting pissed up after seeing what it's done to me over the years.
Learn by example I say! |

when i said "d*unk" i should of said merry/ tipsy, her friends visit for get togethers lots of times, alcohol was only allowed because it was her birthday, and yes i did get permission from all the parents, there weren't that many, they were safe and in my home, they never get d*unk on the streets but i'm sure they would if they weren't allowed this bit of restrained freedom  |

I think that allowing kids to drink under supervision is not a bad thing.
I always had a small glass of wine with Sunday dinner when I lived at home... My girls like to have a wine and lemonade drink on Saturday nights...
I'd never demonise drink ... As it tends to make them more likely to go try it behind my back.

I remember my 16th birthday party fondly.....parents and younger siblings had gone out for the day, I arranged for a load of friends to come round, tons of booze, could legally buy condoms so toddled off to Boots for a few packs, beautiful spring day, the fun spilled over into the garden shed and the garage when the bedrooms got too full.....aaaahh happy days - disposed of 3 binbags full of empties before the oldies got home and to this day don't think we found all the condoms, I seem to remember using a fair few myself..... |
