Good evening mums, can I have some advice please privately if possible xxx
My son is 15 and going to a house party next weekend and staying over night, I know there will be alcohol there but my question is would you buy some beers or ciders etc for him to take?
I know when I was that age I would stand outside the offie and ask someone to get me cheap vodka.
Now I know he shouldn’t be drinking but he’s gonna do it anyways so maybe it’s better to get him softer alcohol like beer rather than spirits! What’s everyone else’s views or am I being too overprotective or cautious? X tia

Oh my god! Can’t even believe what I’m reading
Tbh yeah i’d get let him choose a crate eg budweiser or something like that if he’s a responsible lad. Weather you get him alcohol or not like you said its going to be there. Just make sure that its a small house party and no univited guests start turning up causing trouble.
Cheap vodka? Noooo its was all about the md2020 back then getting absolutely blitzed.
My sons nearly 15 and went to a party a couple of weeks ago, I bought him some wkds as he doesnt like beers, he said he only drank 1 and gave them to his friends
Get him some ciders, he’s been honest about the party and where he’ll be also it lays the path as you trust him he’ll know he can trust you!
I give my son drinks to take and that’s what he drinks I’ve found the ones who aren’t allowed (totally get it they are too young) are the ones that drink everything in sight and end up 🤮
Personally my daughter who is nearly 17 went to parties when she was 15, mostly 16, I always gave her some alco pops like WKD or sourz and lemonade to share and made it clear to her that she only drinks the stuff I give her, obviously explained that you have to be careful about people spiking drinks. I was happy to let her have a few but only the drinks I gave her. She was always very sensible and most of the time would drink a couple and bring them home.
When i went to house parties I took wkd, or smirnoff ice. (This was 16 years ago….)
I would get him some ciders to take. Hes going to drink anyway but at least he has his own.
He will just drink anything to get drunk or don’t matter what you give him. I saw these teenagers at the station he was laid on the floor just throwing red wine in his face for no apparent reason
We all did it back in the day, I’d rather give him something like I do my son or not let him be comatosed in white lightning! Hell that was awful
Yes i would rather send my teen in prepared then have them on the mystery drinks
