Right ON Lady Penelope (and welcome to BB newbie!).

This is precisely why I feel this way. I went to a Drug and Alcohol info evening at DD's school, and learnt a hell of a lot about what is going on now, the price many teens are paying and how little these effects are being publicsised as they should.

The evening was run by an ER nurse who felt the need to contribute this way and even she admitted she thought that "allowing the kids to drink at home" and/or supplying under 18s' was Ok until she saw the effect for herself every weekend.

SO I really don't want to debate about the rights and wrongs of it all, I know how I feel. It gets a little harder when you need to actually enforce these beliefs....
