My parents let me begin drinking at that age and what I noticed is that my friends with stricter parents always snuck out and got themselves into trouble, indulging in that natural teenage urge to rebel. Since I was allowed to drink, I knew a lot more about how alcohol reacted with my body if I drank too much and soon leant quickly the consequences of drinking too much. I remember lots of times at parties when my friends and I got into trouble, and I was able to feel comfortable enough to ring home for help whereas friends thought they'd get into trouble and ended up running off or doing other things like that.
I understand your point of view however, and big booze filled nights are defiantly a no-no for 16 year olds. But it's unavoidable.
IIN for my sister to let her 16 year old daughter drink alcohol?
