Party

[Slippery Seagull]

My 15 year old son is having a party at my house tonight. 40 mates - boys and girls. What's the acceptable position on booze these days? Any advice gratefully received. I'm trying to balance the line between Victorian dad and idiot.

Hard spirits, no mixers or soft drinks. Let them get shitfaced, throw up everywhere which will in turn, teach them to drink responsibly in the future all thanks to S. Seagull

 

[swindonseagull]

he is 15 that is under the legal age....if any of the kids have problems or cause damage, or get pissed and their parents dont know about them drinking, you (as the adult who gave them alcohol) will be up shit creek without a paddle..

Let them stick to jelly and games or drink away from your place..

 

[Slippery Seagull]

Wise words. I'll get the single malt....

 

[albion534]

[El Sid]

Got the same problem tomorrow night with my daughter's 16th

I've decided if they bring it they can drink it but I won't supply any

 

[coagulantwolf]

As a 19 year old lad who goes out once or twice a week, I'd have to say no alcohol.

Indeed. Absolute madness!

That's us! Don't worry things are under control..... So far......checked them for spirits and they think we are boring. things seem relatively calm..... For now. Will update hour by hour....

Being some years older than my brother I bounced his 15th birthday party.
A generally civilised bunch but still had to drag a few outside and make them drink soda water, have some words with some suddenly fighty small teens, and oversee the cleaning up of vomit (didn't do it myself, just made sure they did it right)

Anyhow good luck, you crazy fool - check your insurance, deny everything.

Remember to give a running commentary of the party on NSC through the night...

Actually it is only underage to buy alcohol. "Between the ages of 5 and 17, it is legally permissible for children to drink alcohol at home or at a friend's house with the permission of a parent or legal guardian." and the Uk is the only country to have a minimum age for drinking at home.

I think you're mad having 40 kids there but better them to do it somewhere supervised and my opinion would be that as long as they stick to beer then you'll probably be ok

Cheers!

All work mates are telling me in am mad. The kids are now all in the garden. We've put a massive tent up and they are behaving I think. Watch this space.

I think Slippery Seagull should PM you the address of the party. Make it happen, SS!

 

[Gangsta]

Good luck mate I think we should all pray for you.
