How did/do you hide from your parents that you've drunk?

so, we've all been there. or atleast most of us. most people start drinking before theyre 18 or 21 or whatever, and many people haev parents who are strongly against this.

now which methods did or do you use to hide this from your parents? id also like you to post (funny) stories when/if you were caught. :)

if youve never drunk or didnt have parents who cared, dont bother posting! thanks.

I don't know. I always just sort of stumble in and try to act naturally. It usually works. I usually just say hi, say that my night was good, and that I'm going to head to bed. They've yet to question me. :lol:

Most of the time, though, I just stay over at a friend's or something.

Somebody spiked my water. Honest.

Normally i was too drunk to care, it was trying to explain it the next day that i found hard.

Do it when your not coming home right away. =-()

I always crashed at a friends place. Though my first x-mas break in college I got a little too wasted. It was the Saturday before I was heading back, and my friends were throwing a party. Normally me and a friend split a bottle of tequilla and it's all good. My friend didn't show up, and I pretty much drank the thing by myself. I came home at 8am cause my mom wanted to leave early to drop me off at college. As I was taking my stuff out to the car I'd stop to puke in the yard pretty much each trip. I remember my mom saying "beer will do that to you", and I replied "mom I didn't drink any beer" which was the truth.

Pretty much my parents have only been against me drinking and driving which I don't do. My dad did voice some consern when he saw Everclear bottles in my dorm, but he just wanted me to know that it was more "dangerous" than regular alcohol. Other than that it was the old "don't get caught" speech w/ underage drinking.

i started drinking at the age of 20 i slowly got into it and then from then on i drank a few beers once a week.

Went straight to bed, it was late at night anyways coming home.

I didn't drink until I was 19 (legal age is 21) and my parents didn't care. They believe in an 18 drinking age.

well i've only really been caught being high, and when she asked why my eyes were so red i'd be like "i don't know, they aren't?" or if the lighting was bad i'd say "you can't tell if my eyes are red, the light is too dim to see"

then last summer there were a few days at my friends house where everyone just got trashed, and the first night it was like 5am (so i guess the next morning? lol) and my mom called and asked where i was and told me to come home, which was ok since me and him lived off the same main road, and i was only kinda buzzed by that time so it was ok. but then the next night i didn't tell her i was staying at his place that night so when she texted me asking where i was, i didn't have my phone on me and one of my friends saw that she was like freaking out trying to find where i was (called like 12 times), they found me and tried to see if i wasn't too drunk to talk to her, which i was way too drunk, so they just sent her a text saying i fell asleep... good friends :)

I started drinking alcohol after I turned eighteen, so there never was a problem with something like that and I still don't drink so much you could notice it. If a person can't have fun or deal with their problems without liquor, it's just pathetic. No offense, of course :PPlaWeird

Looking over some of these responses makes me feel a little uneasy. Drinking is usually a social event, but what IS pathetic is when people drink to get drunk. That is the most idiotic notion I've never heard of, hopefully people don't tend to follow this thought process of drinking to get drunk. I'm not saying that is the case either. Sure it might make your night a bit more "fun" if that's what you call it. But nonetheless I think we can all agree that you can have fun without being under the influence, but you can also have fun IF you are careful and responsible when you drink. Best of both worlds.

I had this thing, if I drove, my parents went to bed at their normal time on weekends (11:30, midnight) and I could come home drunk no problem, but the problem was getting my car home the next day :P...I avoided this by usually getting my friend to drive MY car so it would look like I drove (cuz my parents know I'd never ever drink and drive in my life) and then that friend would drive me home, if I ever said someone else is driving, my parents would stay up til I got home, and that was around 3 or 4 AM, pathetic isn't it?

I don't go home drunk. ;)

Either stayed where I was at for the night or came home rather late when the rest of the family was sleeping. Never had a confrontation about.

Whats the point of drinking alchohol at all if not to get drunk, or atleast buzzed?

Most beer i drink is pretty expensive in comparison to soft drink, so just because it tastes good couldn't justify the price. Atleast for me.

well usually if people are drinking beer to get drunk, they'll buy a case of miller or bud or one of those cheap watery brands.

I live in Australia, anything short of full strength is seen as blasphmey.

There's no hiding drunkness. The smell seeps out of your pores and anyone around you with the sense of smell knows that you've been drinking.

But, I've always been smart enough to drink at times when I know I wouldn't even have to deal with my parents.
