Same for anyone who feels drinking for a few days is more important than their family.
--"their family"
OP says 1 grand daughter and 3 college friends.
3 college friends are not family and I have no idea what their parents are like in regards to me allowing alcohol.
Too many stories of 3 best friends in a car wreck..........all ... drinking. all agreeing to go to a different party..........yet the parents of the passengers will sue the driver and parents for every penny if there is a car wreck.
I may know my daughter, know my grand daughter.
I don't knows the 3 friends of my grand daughter nor their parents.
Our neighbors were recently arrested for this. They had let their 18 year old kids drink at the sons birthday party in the backyard BBQ. A police care stopped by as a neighbor called because there was noise ( I live next door, it wasn't a nuisance at all, crabby old lady called4 PM on a Saturday). Cop checked cups and breath . Kids arrested, parents arrested, parents being sued by the boys friends parents AND it was front page in local paper

Yea you definitely are being uptight in not letting adults drink in your home, but it is your house and you can make any rules you want. If I were your grandkid, I'd simply call off the visit since I wouldn't want grandparents who disrespect me. Remember, you probably will see them less and less over the years as they become more adults with jobs and families of their own, you shouldn't be so petty to them now.
Ahhhhh, the "disrespect" angle. Maybe your grandparents would feel that you disrespected THEM because they're simply following the law in their own house. I feel sorry for your grandparents...I wonder if they know that you would drop them like a hot potato if they didn't allow you to do whatever you wanted in their company.
Guess I needed to quote which post I was responding to rather than just follow it seeing as how you've totally misunderstood it.
