ds went out with 3 girls, he is 15, i think they are 14, told to come back after an hour at 11 pm

staggered home ten to midnight,

admitted to drinking coke and vodka

eventually sick.

i never drunk at that age though i wasnt a saint.

God only knows what my DSD was up to...her father let her go away with her friends for the weeek alone.

And seriously, the kid is far far from a saint. I don't trust her as far as I can throw her. If it was up to me she'd be home every night at 9 pm.

I don't have teenagers yet, but I know when I was that sort of age I behaved very similarly.

am sure that is much healthier than my two goody-two-shoes last night, one was in bed before 11pm and the other had a quiet drink watching tv with her boyfriend (they are 17 and 19)

however, we have been through the alcohol poisoning induced coma and vomit all over the place and that sort of thing - haha, happy times

your son was not even an hour late, that is pretty good for a teen!

My 14 year old went to a party where no alcohol was permitted. Collected him at 12.45 and brought him home. Car smelt a bit .

Seemed to have had a great time. Was with group of mates he has known for a long time. Tried to take some beer with him but I found it before he left home! Think (please tell me if I'm wrong) that that's a fairly normal thing for a 14yr old to try.

my two were grounded so that stoppped all the drinking and pukng nonsense . . . Seems DD friends had told their parents they were staying at each others houses and had actually booked a room at some skanky serviced appartment block . . and they all stayed there. I dread to think what went on - they are all 15.

I really do feel I am too old for this malarky tbh. My DD hates me but I just want to keep her safe.

My DH is an A&E doc who was working most of NYE night, I can tell you there were far worse behaved teenagers out and about (and then in A&E!) on NYE.

Libra - snap! My dh is a GP who does A&E shifts and on both sides of it on 31st/1st it was more than just drunk teenagers - he ended up patching up victims/perpetrators of a knife fight in remote, rural Scotland!

My DS is 20 and came home at 4 in the morning new tears day.
He stayed in bed all new years day and he didn't surface until saturday tea time.
He said he 'couldn't move'.
apparently, he was drinking something called doom.
At 20, he is past the comimg home drunk, throwing up everywhere stage.
In the past he has

  • been brought home by friends
  • been brought home by the police
  • thrown up in his room
  • thrown up out the window
  • been punched
  • lost his keys/ wallet/ i-pod/ mobile more than once
  • phoned me at 4 o'clock in the morning to let him in

    OP, you have all that to look forward to.

    He has calmed down a lot now as I had had enough and threatened to video him in his drunken state and post it on facebook

purple, I will have to remember that threat!! DS is 14 and although he has hd the odd beer, he has never (to my knowledge) been drunk. He has, however, been brought home by the police at 6am so I am by no means PFB and know there is much worse to come
