Believe me, your dad's trust is more important than some people who want to pressure you into doing something. Friends, especially at your age, come and go, but family is forever. Don't do something you don't feel good about for people who may not always be there for you.

Do not drink! Trust me, I got drunk at a high school party and my parents had to pick me up afterward. I felt so embarrassed and all the trust and respect they had for me disappeared. After that I have never looked at alcohol.
I don't think you should take your dad's alcohol cuz that is just wrong.
If I were you, I'd tell your friends something like:
"I tried to get the alcohol, but my dad caught me and I got in big trouble. Sorry."
That way you can stay friends with them and not do something you'll regret later.

If you were to experience a negative result of any kind by your actions, will your friends take any action necessary to help you? Will they put themselves at risk, for monetary or safety reasons?
Would your father be the first at your side, or your friends?
When friends require that one do something that can destroy the "trust" that you have instilled in your family, when friends require that one do something "illegal", (drinking at 16), when friends require that a friendship be put to a test; what then would your enemies do?
I hope that you have your father for a very long time. You will not have your friends for more than a short time, in any event. At best, I would say, 2 more years?
Think about it.

Always keep a bottle of something non-alcoholic in your hand when you are with your friends who are drinking. Never Never let it out of your sight and never put it down. Why this works I haven't a clue but people will leave you alone if it looks like you have a full or close to full drink in your hand.

First off, it sounds like you don't really need to be hanging around them. If they were your true friends they wouldn't encourage you to do illegal things with them, nor by yourself. I think that you should just tell your friends that your dad's trust is way bigger then them. If you lose trust in a parent it is very hard to earn back. Think about how that can effect your life. You are too young to be drinking anyway. Friends will come and go, but good parents are very scarce. But you don't have to try to please them, if they are your friend because they like you, then you wouldn't be in the situation. I think that you need to rethink who your friends are. Good luck. Do the right thing, and the best thing for you.

Tell them forget it -- don't take your dad's stuff. Not only that but alcohol and kids really don't mix. You'd be surprised -- kids drink out of control and sometimes die because they don't know HOW to stop. I don't think you'd want that on your shoulders. Alcohol poisoning is real. I'll bet if you did some research you will find out that a LOT of teenagers have died from alcohol poisoning. My son almost did. Liquor is strong stuff -- If your dad trusts you, don't make him lose that trust. I trust my younger son 100% but not my older one at all -- losing trust in him hurt me so very much. You don't want to hurt him, right? It's really not worth it.

Don't drink, you are too young to drink, I know a lot of teens start drinking earlier and earlier, but not only could you get in trouble by your dad, what if one of your friends got drunk and decided to drive home? They could serious hurt themselves and possibly kill an innocent person let alone themselves. If they're your true friends they will understand that you don't or can't provide them with booze. If they don't then you need new friends who won't pressure you to drink and get into trouble.

These are not friends, they are trying to take you down with them. Be the bigger person and set an example for them, show them that you are more mature and you know that drinking can hurt your body and make you have a fat belly and gain weight. Don't do it, and if they rag on you they were never your friends to begin with. But give them the number to AA.

Just tell them no. It's a little word, easy to say and has 1 less letter than yes. In 20 years you will not be with these so called friends and your dad's trust will be there if you don't brake it.

hmm.. lets see u tell ur "good" friends to go drink somewhere else really. i mean if there good friends they wouldnt really presusre u to doing something that would get ur dad to lose trust of you. and i dont think u should drink unless u want to or are ready to. hey if ur dad seems to trust u that much ask him if u could try a drink or two u never know..
