Speaking of scary parenting and drug/alcohol issues....

DD just dropped this invite on my desk.

Hay you are invited to xxxx sweet 16th etc etc 8.30pm to 1am
Dress up as you you want to be blah, blah, blah and in bold BYO and if you don't bring you don't drink (no sharing). WTF?

So obviously it means alcohol, which bothers me but why can't you share? What is the deal there?

Anyway, I will ring the parents of this child and I'm sure they will give me enough info to keep DD at home.

My issue - why is alcohol the main focus of the night? What kind of parent promote drinking at a SIXTEENTH?

This is Dumb.

NB - I DON'T beleive teens should drink alcohol before they are 18, I have my views, they have been discussed on here before. I'm more shocked that a childs parents woudl allow this.
