environment at home? I found an article talking about how people are questioning whether the college lifestyle promotes drinking, ro if it's just part of a kid's brain.

It's pretty interesting, I think you moms should think about it seriously. What do you think?
 
I never went to a college setting, but I did start drinking a lot once i turned 21. I drank before too but not as much. Its part of celebrating your freedom from your parents, and its ok as long as it doesnt get out of control. I find that my friends who were Overly sheltered and/or never allowed to drink supervised by their parents went the most crazy. My family would make cookouts and my parents would let me have a wine cooler or two and it really took away from the curiousity of alcohol and its effects. But yea my sheltered friends, went nuts when they got to college.

It Is part of young adulthood tho, not everyone does it but most do. Just let em party themselves out, but do get worried if it goes on TOO Long.
