Im super late to the party but on the chance you're still on IMDB, or anyone else reads this thread...
"Do you want you want, just do it away from me" is a horrible mentality to have as a parent. Being a liberal parent is fine, but if the kids are going to do drugs or get drunk, let them do it in a safe and supervised setting. Make your house so chill they don't want to leave. That's how adults party, anyway. We actually have consequences for getting caught so it stays on the down low.
A child that is drinking a few beers at home with their friend and with mom upstairs is much less likely to get into trouble than a kid who is taking/drinking who knows what, at who knows where, with who knows who. The possibilities are endless and that's a major reason parents don't want their kids doing those things- because of the risks brought on by the people they're associating with and/or doing it in public.
Anything from getting roofied, to being assaulted, having an accident, driving drunk, riding drunk, getting caught, OD'ing... A lot of these issues go away when you contain the drinking and drug use to home.
Therefore, my rule would be, until you are an adult, I really would prefer that you did not drink or do drugs, but if you MUST, I'd rather you be under my roof and safe. Please stay in control and be smart in the outside world.
