Today, I discovered that last night, my son snuck downstairs at 3am, drank two glasses of my very expensive wine, threw up on his bed, and then slept in his own vomit. My son is 14. FML

He needs to learn to hold his alcohol better.

Sounds to me like he learned a very important lesson. After that little escapade, do you think he'll do that again any time soon? I'd venture not. Your best punishment would be not allowing him to shower. Let him marinate in his own sickness all day. I'm sure the girls will be very impressed.

Sounds like something my mom would do..do you have kids doc? If yes..lucky kids!

"After that little escapade, do you think he'll do that again any time soon? I'd venture not." Based on the behavior of a lot of people I've seen, I'd have to disagree. People are stupid.

I can picture him showing up to school only to be quickly suspended.

Cruel? Sure but I bet he won't try that stupid stunt again till later. I to this day can't drink certain kinds of alcohol due to the reminder of the taste of vomit it left in my mouth mmm barfalicious.

Better he gets a feel for booze at home then out who knows where with his friends. I bet after this when he's older he won't be the one in the hospital getting his stomach pumped.

He's starting early. Lock up your liquor and wine from now on, sadmommy.

Hey at least you know he's not out partying all the time. So he drank some wine. Hopefully he learned a lesson about drinking

Not surprising considering that kids tend to do this nowadays.

At 15, I know how horrible kids are when it comes to alcohol

He's building up his tolerance, cut him a break, he's ******* 14. You can't expect him to be able to hold his alcohol. Plus you two have a shared interest now, wine. Look at it as a good thing.

Unless this is a joke, a 14 year old shouldn't even be drinking alcohol. I think it's pretty normal to not be alcohol-tolerant at that age.

That's what I'm saying. It's normal for a 14 year old to not have a tolerance yet. Let him build it up, you can't expect him to start out a pro.

No. Don't "let him build it up." Whatever his tolerance to alcohol may be, he shouldn't be drinking at all.

That's not true, he should be allowed to drink. One half glass of wine, with dinner. Don't make alcohol taboo, then he'll want to do it; make it no big deal. Set rules, can't go anywhere, no drinking alcohol outside if the home, etc. It's not entirely abnormal in all cultures to drink wine at dinner on occasion

Isn't that what you get for drinking in front of your kids anyway? I think you should have expected that at some point, especially from a young teenager.

Thats true, but it's up to the kids to determine if they'll go the same route as their patents.

My parents love wine and had a glass every night after work (now they are trying to slow down and only drink on the weekends). But I had sips of their wine as a teen and even had a glass or two at dinner in my late teens (I could never finish the glass though). Now I am 21 and absolutely responsible with alcohol, and have never been blindingly drunk or thrown up. It's better to introduce teens to drinking as a parent and show them how to drink responsibly than to let them learn it from their friends and do stuff like OP's kid.

Seems like a cry for attention. Might want to sit down with him and see if there are any problems he hasn't told you about. 14 is a really sensitive age.

When I was 14 I used to sneak a beer or 2 all the time didn't have any problems and now I only really drink every few months at parties.

I puked in my bed and went back to bed once

Another fun fact I've woken up in a puddle of puke on a friends lawn. Learning from experiences first hand is the best approach for greater knowledge.
