What do 16 year olds drink?

[jo90]

My son is 16 this w/e and he's having a party at home. The boys will be drinking beer (in moderation) but what can I give the girls (most of which are only 15) which will get them in the mood without getting drunk. Dont want to get alcopops or vodka shots - is there a punch that I could give them to make them get a bit silly and think they have loads to drink without actually doing so?

Totally agree with Carron. I cannot see any problem with holding a party for 15/16 year olds where there aren't large quantites of drink involved and the drinks are carefully chosen, and if there is a responsible adult on the premises, e.g. parent. It makes them feel trusted and like young adults.

Better that than drinking with your mates in the park or other places and knocking back voldka, cider, etc.
Forbidden food always tastes better!!

Yes, we were all young once, but we didn't all drink in the park with our mates.

Buy schloer or Ame and pour into empty bottles of normal wine, the kids will have no idea its non alchoholic and you don't have to clear up any sick, you could always leave a few bottles of alchoholic wine so they feel a bit tipsy maybe a bucks fizz when they first arrive.

i was allowed alcopops at that age. a few,...if i was going to a party my mum would let me take em with me! im sure jo knows the kids parents enough to know if it would be ok or not!! they would do it anyway- i know i did like sqad says pour vodka into juice - and really...they want a drink at that age but partly are to scared to get steaming drunk...most likely will pretend to be haha!!

then if u dont want alcopops...whats lambrini mabye? is that got a low alcohol..if they think they have this bottle of drink that they can pour!! comes in cherry flavour dosent it!? cava??
