I have only gotten wasted a couple times and everytime I come home my family is already completely asleep. I can imagine if they caught me I'd be in some deep trouble but its never come up yet.

I'm 18..and i don't drink...and beer doesn't taste good IMO..

I'm 19, it wouldn't be a problem.

Yep. He was so proud. Tears came down his face.

He said, "son, you're growing up so fast *cries* I am so proud"!

Nope, never been caught wasted. Been caught doing... other things, though.

The few times I came home intoxicated, my parents didn't even notice.

I don't think they would be angry if I came home wasted. They would probably just start playing bible videos in the living room and inviting their bishop over for dinner whenever I'm home.

When did that happen? Just now? Because if so, you're typing pretty well for someone who is "completely wasted".

Anyway, it's hard for me to give you advice without knowing exactly how wasted you were, and how trashed you've gotta be before he puts his foot down. Does he not want you drinking at all? Is he fine with you drinking a little bit as long as you're not completely ****-faced? Exactly what is the situation here?

Are you sure about that? I mean, are you sure that they just didn't deem it to be worth bringing up?

I mean, I've come home ****ed up so many times that it's unbelievable. And aside from that, even when I wasn't out, I'd often just lock my bedroom door and drink in my bedroom. This has happened OFTEN. I'd usually avoid getting extremely trashed, but sometimes I've gotten decently trashed, and there HAD to have been times when my parents noticed that I was drunk. But the most they have EVER said to me about drinking is, "if you're gonna be drinking tonight, make sure you get someone to drive you home."

I've come home wasted when I was 17 (drinking age is 18 here) and my parents didn't say anything, in fact, my dad looked proud. Now that I'm over the drinking age, I'm not even embarrassed coming home drunk anymore.

To TC, man up, you're 20 years old, you're an adult, don't let your dad give you crap like that. Your alcohol consumption should be the least of his concerns.

And as an adult, he can also get the **** out of his dad's house.

I'm just saying, if the TC gets kicked out for drinking, I seriously doubt that YOU are going to let the TC come stay at your place rent free. If the TC takes your advice and ends up homeless as a result, that's no skin off of your ass.

Yeah, he's an adult, and part of that is intelligently assessing risks vs rewards. He's staying under his dad's roof, presumably because that's currently pretty advantageous to him. If "not letting his dad give him that crap" is gonna leave him homeless, then it's probably better if he just plain stops getting drunk while he's living in his dad's home.

i'm 19 and my mom knows i drink occasionally, i think. i'd come home at like 4 in the morning and she's like "i think you're drinking and waiting til you get sober before you come home," which is true, but she would rather me be sober than drunk when driving.

Your parents always know when you're drunk. It's so completely obvious, they've all been there and know what it's like, trust me.

I can agree to this, when I was 18 I thought beer was nasty. But after experimenting with different brews I've came to enjoy it.

Wow, his dad would have to be a huge douche to kick him out for drinking at 20 frigin years old. The fact that some parents constantly threaten their kids with homelessness just shows how little respect they have for their children, and what a terrible job they did raising their kids (if they have to threaten them to get what they want).

dude, can't you hold it in or something? How drunk do you get that you can't control yourself by the time you get home?F1_2004

We're talking about his parents. The people who he lives with. It's one thing getting pulled over by the cops and pulling it together long enough to act like you're not drunk. But it's harder when you live with your parents, and they know you and your mannerisms deeply. A lot of the people here saying "I've gone home drunk but my parents never noticed", that makes me skeptical, especially in cases where people said they did this on multiple occasions. If you get drunk thinking that no one is going to notice, then you probably ought to change your attitude. A hell of a lot of people can tell, they just don't say anything about it. And that's neglecting the fact that getting drunk can make you reek of alcohol. Even if you are acting 100% normal, don't assume that no one can smell it on you.

Bottom line...I'm just saying that as far as pretending to not be drunk, that's easy enough when you're dealing with a total stranger. It's FAR harder when talking about people who live with you and no you intimately. After all, most people aren't completely stupid, and it's pretty naive to come home drunk as hell and expect no one to notice.

And I know plenty of parents who enable their offsprings' bad behavior by not providing any incentive to not engage in activities that are self-destructive.

I don't know the dad and it's not my placve to judge him. But the TC is living under his parents' roof, and breaking the law by drinking underage. That's fine for some parents, not fine for others. But as you said, the TC is 20 years old. He's an adult. He can make intelligent decisions, and he's not entitled to drinking while underaged. If his parents don't want him living in their home while he's breaking the law, then he ought to consider the consequences of his actions rather than just try to stick it to the man (that being the man who is doing the TC a FAVOR by giving him a place to live).

He thought I was becoming a man or some bull crap like that.

Lol happened all the time with my mom she got mad, but she never kicked me out. She did kick me out because she didn't want me to be with my ex gf though.

Whatever, I guess I just don't get it. I just could never see my self threatening my kid with homelessness over drinking, which is so prevalent and accepted in society. I would rather my kid came home after drinking, then finding some random place to crash because they are afraid of me finding out. But you're right, it's the parents home, and if they feel that strongly against under aged drinking, then that's their business.

If he told you he doesn't want you drinking in his house, he probably means it, and he'll mean it after you turn 21.

Do you have younger siblings at home? It'll be worse for you if you do, because then you're setting a "negative example."

Either crash at a friend's place, learn to drink in your room, or stop drinking.

But he is not a kid. Like you stated earlier, he is 20 and an adult.

An adult living in his father's house. If he wants to continue to live in his father's house, he has to follow his father's rules. It doesn't matter if the TC was 40. If he is living in his father's house and one of the conditions is he cannot come home drunk, then the TC should not come home drunk. If the TC would like to drink whenever he wants, he should move out of his father's house. But since the TC is only 20 and it is advantageous to live in your parent's home, I would stick with not coming home drunk.

Pretty simple.

Me and my Dad got caught sneaking in wasted by my mom. She said if she catches us again, she's kicking us out!!

lmao that sounds like an amazing night. Wish me and my dad could go out and drink. I still have a few more months until I can do so legally!

redstorm72

It's all a matter of perspective. On one hand, you could see it as a THREAT to get the son to stop drinking. On the other hand, you could see it as a COURTESY. That we're talking about an ADULT. If I were in that situation, perhaps I wouldn't see it as OWING my son a place to stay. That's a favor. He's a man now, he needs to learn how to stand on his own two feet, and I'm doing him a FAVOR by lketting him stay at my place on the condition that he stays clean and doesn't do **** like break the law. In that sense, you could view the "threat" as a courtesy. A warning. The dad could've kicked the TC out right away, but he gave the TC the courtesy of saying to him "this **** isn't allowed, don't do it again."

There's being a cobbling enabler, there's being a slave-driver, and then there's everything else in between. Was the dad overreacting? I don't know. Just don't try to tell the TC that it's a good idea to act as is he's somehow entitled to stay at his dad's place while breaking the law. That's for him and his dad to work out. And while we can call his dad a douchebag until the sun goes down, his dad never had to let a 20 year old man stay in his home at all.

Not cool if your dad's married.

i walked in home drunk as well and my mom caught me, she was mad but told me if i was ever going to drink to drink at home. But for you situation, even though you turn 21 you will still be living under the roof of your parents and their rules go. next time you go out drinking be sure you don't show up at your place totally smashed outta your mind.

My parents were fine with me drinking at 16. They bought me alcohol all the time.
