Sounds like me when I was younger ????

Exactly, that is my argument against gun safes as well. If the kid decides not to listen, i think funeral costs might have gone down.

Sounds like the average 14 year old, well other than that he chose wine lol. Sounds like its time to talk to him about alcohol usage. You can't stop him from drinking, he'll find a way to do it. I think how my mom approached it with me when I first got curious about it worked well. I was probably 14 as well, she'd let me have a glass wine or a wine cooler at home (which in my state it's legal for a minor to drink in their own house as long as their legal guardian/parent is at home and aware of it. Then from there she explained to me that she knew I'd drink if I wanted to and even though she didn't like the idea, as long as I was responsible (called if I needed to come home, didn't lie about it, and didn't ride with anyone who was drunk) I wouldn't be in much trouble. No sympathy for puking or being hungover, but she wouldn't ground me. As I got older (I'm now 20) she taught me tips and tricks to maintain a nice buzz and not over do it, how to avoid hangovers, and all that stuff. Since we had an open line of communication I didn't have to try and hide things from her and my party girl stage was extremely short lived. I don't think I even drink once a month these days, by choice. So even if you despise the idea, it's really important for him to know that he CAN talk to you without getting in a shit ton of trouble. Being able to call my mom and get out of bad situations saved my ass on multiple occasions.

hahaha ah bless he's only experimenting. That's why parents should always leave their kids have a sip of whatever they're drinking because then alcohol doesn't seem like such a big deal, and they won't sneak around trying to drink more than they can handle. I was always allowed a sip and I now have a really healthy attitude towards drink.

Finally I prove of how good you raised him

He probably doesn't realize that he did this. Sleep walking is becoming very common. Shouldn't leave ur wine where children can easily access it in the first place. Plus children experiment, I'm sure just like u did when u were his age. If he does have acknowledgement of drinking ur wine then punish him for getting into it if u feel necessary, but u did leave him full access to it.

Tell his dad, I'm sure he won't want to touch alcohol after he gets his backside whooped!

******* lightweight! He can't even take some grape juice!

As punishment, he should have to drink an entire 12-pack of the cheapest, nastiest beer you can find. The next morning, wake him with an airhorn, blast bagpipe music, and take him to a racetrack, or some place LOUD.

I'm 14 too but I know better.
