I have a 15year old son who drinks alcohol almost every night. I don't find it bad, I'm there to supervise him while he drinks. Drinking alcohol is part of growing up, I don't see why underage drinking is illegal. They're bound to drink sometime. He enjoys it and he doesn't get drunk-- well, a bit tipsy maybe, but not too drunk that he can't control himself. He is only 15 years old but he is a responsible adult! I know that he won't drink outside in public (I hope) and I have taught him all the rules so I'm sure he'll be just fine. He will not go on drinking while driving, so no DUI for him, and he will not cause any disturbances to other people. My son knows his limit. Drinking too much will cause him a headache and a bad hangover; I'm sure he doesn't want to experience that again. He knows that his face getting red with a body full of goosebumps are signs for him to stop drinking. I think people saying that drinking is destroying their bodies but I think that's rubbish. My son is such a good child unlike those getting arrested. He will be fine, I trust him and he will not betray me. He will not be drinking irresponsibly in public. He will not be drinking at all in public, period. I am sure of it. Someone should just lift the age limit, my son knows how to drink like a young man!
