WHY HELL YES if not they could go out and drink while there driving, That's a BIG risk considering they could die in a accident ,Hell you already know there drinking they aint gonna stop cause you said they can't drink here I feel they would be much safer once they stay at one spot (for the night).

I'd encourage them to drink sensibly, and I'd rather have them there safe than out drinking in the streets where anything can happen. It's very hard to answer that as I would like to protect them as much as possible, but at that age they are basically adults, and they have to make their own mistakes, which we have ALL done in our growing up time. All you can do is encourage them to be responsible and not drink too much, and hopefully they will have enough respect for themselves not to get into a right drunken mess.

yeah but i would tell them that i'm not just ok with it. it's better they do it and stay where they are safe. I wouldn't rat them out or anything if parents are involved but i would talk to them about the damage drinking does physically and socialy i was an alcoholic and pot addict at a young age and strongly am against them now but kids will be kids you just have to do what you can to discurage it fighting about it will only make them want it more trust me. I don't drink or do drugs anymore clean for 3 years.

no because I wouldn't want to take on that responsibility. plus were I live you have to be 21 years old to drink. why would I want to put myself and others at risk. drinking makes you do dumb things and some people get violence just from drinking. you can tell them that you care and love them but your not going to let them ruin their lives in your home. if they want to stay and party that's fine but no drinking. I'm not going to jail for them or anyone else. and it was my own son or daughter I would send them to rehab and make sure they get the help they need to stop drinking. I wouldn't want anyone to drink and end up getting hurt or hurting someone else. I'm sorry but that's how I feel about it.

No I would not let them drink, they are minors. Alcohol is a very dangerous drug. It can ruin their life and hurt many around them that love them. I would totally discourage them from drinking.

Well since im in Australia, the legal age is 18, so i would.
Just lay down the law, make sure they are responsible.
I always see it as, if they are going to do it, i would prefer them to do it where i can keep an eye on them!

i don't think i would let them stay at my house and party, number 1 - people love to take up stuff not belonging to them, and to top it off so much people coming to my house to drink alcohol and i don't even know them

probabbly they are alfully young and need to be monitured while drinking. keep a close eye on them. i had a friend of mine o/d before he died.they are going to drink anyway so why not be there to protect them.
