> My kids have been coming home from university and are not interested in alcohol when offered, other parents report the same. I did the same thing as a student, because I didn't want to come off to my parents as a heavy drinker. Refusing a beer in front of them, then getting shitfaced with my friends the next night was a pretty common occurrence. You shouldn't take everything your kids say at face value -- and I don't mean that as a bad thing, kids should keep some secrets from their parents, it helps them grow up and learn to be independent.
