NOTE: If you haven’t listened to episode #11, it’s not completely necessary but does provide an excellent foundation for today’s episode.

Many parents struggle with how to best handle alcohol use in their teenagers. It’s hard not to feel that drinking alcohol is simply inevitable at their age. This mindset leads some parents to attempt to teach their kids “responsible drinking” at home (See episode #11).

In fact, a large number of parents decide to turn a blind eye when alcohol is present at their teens’ parties on their property. Some are happy to provide the alcohol themselves. Generally, these decisions are made to try and provide a safer environment for teenagers who they feel are going to drink anyway.

In today’s episode #12, I’ll discuss the scientific research and the law surrounding this issue. Should you let your teen have a party at your house…with alcohol? Listen and decide for yourself.
