(((((SC))))) It's a fine line. To me (and I am no C!) it seems that S has no trouble pushing past illegal, so using that as the boundary seems pointless. I kind of figure if you can have him at home more, it gives you a better chance to keep an eye on him.
I understand worrying, with the alcoholism history. One of my theories is that the binge type of drinking teens do when they are sneaking it helps lead to that, whereas more controlled consumption may not. Again, it is the theory of an engineer!
Just to add some interest, I never drank as a kid, never wanted to. And I've really not acquired much of a taste as I've gotten older. I don't drink beer at all. I'll have a little wine now and then, and things like Margaritas. I don't know what that adds or subtracts from my thoughts!
