Their reasons probably fall into one of two categories: They figure, "They're going to do it anyway, they may as well do it on my watch." This is a slippery slope. They're not necessarily "going to do it anyway." I didn't try alcohol until I was 19 because I had strict, loving, responsible parents. Teenagers are not supposed to drink alcohol. Their parents need to help them learn age appropriate behavior and how to delay gratification. If their parents approve of teenage drinking, the kids will do it whenever they can, wherever they can. The other reason is even worse. Some parents want to be "the cool parents" and they cannot tolerate having their children disappointed. Either way, they are bad parents. Kids who are not their kids get drunk at these parties and get into car accidents or get sexually assaulted or get in fights... It goes beyond just their own drunkard kids. I hate these parents.

If I was a parent, I would never allow such a thing. Instead, I would educate them about the danger of drinking and other harmful behaviors and tell them that I expected them not to engage in these behaviors until they were of age.
