Alcohol access and your teenager: Is your teen mature enough to drink?

So your child is having some friends to "hang out." Your teen wants you for a movie, snacks, and a six-pack. Where to? Is not it safer for your home a teenager with you so you can provide supervision? When you were young, the legal drinking age is 18, and it worked. Is not it more important to teach your child to be a drinker responsible for complying with a law that has an arbitrary age limit?

Some parents provide teens with alcohol, or just look the other way when their teens drink, taking a "kids will be kids" attitude. They think that there is nothing we can do to stop adolescent drinking. They fear the reaction of your teen to a strict prohibition against drinking. They want to be friends with your teenager because they want to keep the lines of communication open.

Some parents think that if teens can drink alcohol at home, parents are in control of the amount consumed. They think they can monitor their kids to make sure nothing bad happens while the adolescent is intoxicated. They reason that, at least this way, your child is not driving drunk or riding with another teenager drunk. To rationalize that if they let the friends of the teenager, the dream, everyone is safe.

But these parents do not take into account many facts that refute the notion that parents should allow children to underage drinking:

Teenagers are not physically, mentally or emotionally prepared to be under the influence. Even one drink is too much for their bodies and developing brains.

  • For each year at the age of 21, a teenager starts drinking alcohol, which are five times more likely to battle for a life of abuse and dependence alcohol (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2005)
  • The use of adolescents increases the risk of alcohol dependence, because the brain of adolescents are not fully developed. The prefrontal cortex, which we use to evaluate situations, help us use the wisdom, and keep our emotions and desires under control, not fully developed until we are in our 20 years (NIDA, 2007)
  • Teenagers may look for partners, but their bodies are still developing. They require a lower level of alcohol consumption to get a quick "high", which means that their view is affected almost immediately, but also have more tolerance to alcohol, making it easy for them to exceed.
  • Teenagers are emotionally immature. They are still learning about themselves, relationships, and in what direction to take in life. Because even a small amount of Alcohol lowers inhibitions and impairs the trial, they may react emotionally under the influence regardless of the consequences of their behavior.

Alcohol use by teens increases the risk of activities that can lead to serious long term consequences, including:

  • The use of other drugs (alcohol is a gateway drug because of its commitments to use the trial and reduces inhibitions)
  • Driving under the influence
  • Alcohol poisoning of heavy drinking (often teens binge drink to relax and may participate in drinking games that lead to the ingestion of large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time)
  • The increase in sexual activity and multiple sexual partners due to lower inhibitions, which increases the risk of pregnancy and / or sexually transmitted diseases
  • The exacerbation of the base, perhaps undiagnosed mental illness
  • The violence and rape (if the victim is under the influence or not)
  • Suicide

The social responsibility of parents to host is increasing. Twenty-four states have enacted social housing to hold adults criminally liable for providing alcohol to minors. No State it is legal for an adult to provide alcohol to children of others. Civil suits may result in the loss of most or all assets of a person â € "If they knew alcohol was served at home or not. Turning a blind eye is not an excuse.

When hosting a meeting for his teenage son you should adjust its determination. Avoid being a friend and focus on your role as parent. The following tips will help in the process:

  • Establish expectations with your child ahead of time. Make sure your child knows that you will not allow (alcohol or other drugs) at the party and that is communicated to all guests. Ask your child to tell you about any concerns he or she has about any of the guests or any situation that may occur. Make your neighbors aware of the party and enlist their help in monitoring the area.
  • Make a guest list with your child. Limit the number of adolescents so you can be sure of adequate chaperonage. Make sure you have contact information for each of the parents of the teenager. Make sure your customers and the parents understand that if a teen leaves the party, he or she was not allowed to return, parents will be called. Make sure that parents who do not know chaperone at the beginning and end of the game and prearrange transportation.
  • Restrict guest access to certain areas of the house and property. Lockdown of all valuables, fragile, alcohol and weapons. Plan activities to occupy guests. Provide plenty of snacks, soft drinks and water. Set an example by not providing alcohol to all adults who are present. They travel regularly throughout the match and without notice as unobtrusively as possible, especially outside the control of boundary areas. Collect all the keys so you can keep track of who is coming and going. Keep coats and bags in an area that can be controlled. Talk to each one person before going out, searching for signs of deterioration.
  • If the guest arrives at the party already under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, keep there, while calling their parents to pick them up. If the results sheets and someone is hurt or injured, you may be responsible.
