Exactly. Am I gonna be thrilled they got drunk underage? Nope, but I’m never going to guilt the boys into a spot they won’t call. We’ll have a calm talk, learn some lessons and move on.
hell, a few years ago, I left a group of friends at a bar, asked if anyone wanted a 45 minute ride home, they all passed and went to the next bar. The second I got home and into bed, “hey dude… can you come pick us up….” I was PISSED, but I made the drive back, got their BLASTED ASSES, took two their house, the other two offered to buy me drunk snacks (ihop). A cop was there, saw me walk in with the equivalent of two giant toddlers, he laughed, gave me kudos, and paid for our meal (we found out cause we tried to pay for his).
