My roommate is letting her 17 year old come over and drink. Not all the time but when her sister comes over to spend the night she drinks with her sister. Normally watching movies and such. Should I do or say anything? They are close.
All kinds of legalities & stuff that doesn't lead to anything positive, but.............
Better there than driving around, losing control at a college aged party, etc.
My parents served us kids wine during the holidaze starting at around age 12. Different world today, gotta admit. I must add that I've known a few young adults that were much more mature than some 40 somethings.

And in most states, an underaged person can be served alcohol in a private home - usually it has to be with parental consent and in most, but not all, states, the parents are supposed to be present. You'd have to look up the laws for your own state if you want to know the specifics.
