How Much May A Teen Drink (alcohol) Before College?

I am aware that teens are  developing still and that they need tons of strcuture and supervision by their parents.

Some high school Heads think that they need to "turn in" kids to other school Heads if a teen or an adult sees them drinking a beer at a party. Okay so how is this verified?(Avoiding wrong rumors).

Do you think it might be better to verify the homes wiht absentee parents (gone on trips,etc.) and see whether or not theyare serving alochol?

Please leave your thoughts TY

  Unfortunately there is nothing a parent can truly do unless they lock up their kids completely to keep them from drinking.  However, parents should teach their children responsible drinking habits, like not drinking and driving and not getting so drunk that they can get taken advantage of.  Most kids that party before college tend to get that out of their systems so they actually do better in college overall...at least that is what I have noticed with my and my brother's friends.  This country is so hung up on a drinking age and making it seem like some "bad, cool" thing to do that it makes kids curious.  Kids in other countries that are brought up with moderation drinking habits like having a glass of wine with dinner in the end turn out to be better off for it.

  I don't agree with underage drinking. At all. I've heard more than enough stories of hung-over kids at schools the morning-after. I've heard more than enough stories of the damage to their psychological and physical development. I've heard more than enough stories of teenage pregnancies (girls as young as 11), resulting from underage alcohol consumption. Ludicrous to even contemplate that it would be remotely acceptable.

  I've known too many who have died because of underage drinking.  Parents need to quit that, if I don't give it to them, they'll get it somewhere else' mentality and be responsible parents.  Kids need to also take responsibility- if they think they're old enough to drink- they're old enough to take responsibility wen they kill someone or get into other troubles.  Carolyn http://journals.aol.com/lifesabench6/Noappologies-Biblicalperspect/
