How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

I am preparing (well in advance) for my son’s birthday party and today someone whom I had intended to invite (along with her 2 children that my son plays with) asked what kind of alcohol I would be serving. I said no alcohol, he’s two, for crissake’s.

Well, she goes and says that it’ll be a crappy party with no booze and she has booze at her kid’s birthdays.

Who does that? What if a child got into it?

Booze and children’s parties are declasse right?
Oh, and the party is going to be at 11 am. Most people are still drinking coffee at 11 am,. (and there will be coffee, and soda, and lemondae, and water bottles)

I live in the Chicago area and in the news, a couple was found guilty in supplying alcohol at a party in their home for their teenager. They have not been sentenced yet and their own son testified against them. Well, 2 or 3 teens were killed in a car accident after the party. I am just wondering when are we as parents going to start being parents and stop trying to be friends to our children. I was also wondering about your opinion of the situation.

One last thing, one of the teens involved in the accident where teens died of underaged drinking was involved in another accident last week where someone was driving drunk…When will she learn?

So my high school reunion is coming up so I’ve been trying to catch up with some of my old high school friends I saw my old friend (lets call him) “Derek” on my-space and we got to chating online. He sent me pictures of his 3 sons and I sent him pictures of my two boys. The first thing I noticed about his son is that he had Fetal alcohol syndrome, so I have not responded to his email because I just don’t know what to say to him, obviously his exgirlfriend must have drank while she was pregnant, so I asked a mutual friend just now on FB and she said “oh yah I heard Derek’s ex-girlfriend was a big time alcoholic she had to be hospitalized for alchol poisoning twice when she was pregnant.” now I just don’t know what to say to him. Do I acknowledge that he has FAS and ask about it, or do i wait for him to bring it up? when he does bring it up how do I handle it, I mean I don’t want to get judgmental because honestly I don’t know how he could have stayed with her and had 2 more children after the first had FAS
the friend on FB that I asked is also his best friend and godmother to his children not just anyone.

Also I can’t really play dumb because I have a degree in abnormal psychology and biology so I know a thing or two about FAS
I don’t think i’m really getting the answers to my question.

i feel as though i’m just getting a bitch rant I think I should ask again in the morning

I love you man!!!!!
Mhhia its a joke… have you not read any of my other questions? My questons are never serious.

I was wondering if a man who has been a long time alcoholic, (say 25 yrs of drinking a little and even a full blown alcoholic at times) can become infertile due to the alcohol? My husband hasnt been tested and doesnt believe this would cause it but we have been trying for 2 and a half years now and nothing. He has 2 daughters from a previous marriage. The youngest is 18. I have 2 sons and I was checked out by my dr. and everything is normal.
oh he has now been completely sober for 8 months.

What should my sister do with her son? He is an addict of alcohol and drugs. He is in rehab Again!!!! When he is home he causes absolute havoc. She has done everything from kicking him out to loving him. His back round is a normal working class family, with brothers and sisters that have turned out very well. He being to jail for drug related offences, that didnt work. He is 22 now, what hope does he have. I want advice for my sister and what she to do, to help herself, her husband and the rest of the family. What was once a hapy family is now in turmoil. He is a really nasty addict.

Mr IQ, When is rock bottom, everytime he hits rock bottom, we were wrong. For the record my sister does not enable his addictions in anyway, finacially or otherwise.
Dina, Thanks, I will pass this on to her. Extreme perhaps, but at least he will see where he will end up. She has tried everything else.

We have been married 3 years and i have finally know that i have to quit alcohol and save me my marriage and for our 22mo old son. She will not go to counseling because she thinks that my problem is the whole thing. I take accountabilty for my mistakes and trully want us to work.

it has to be for this health project i have for psychoactive drugs. the songs have to be hip hop

My adult life has been rearranged to what I had hoped it would be because of alcohol. It affected my personal relationships, my family, my son and many friends. My problem is not what I drink, because that may average 4 drinks a year. My problem is with how it has affected the people I love and care about. Second-hand alcohol. To the best of my knowledge, tobacco has never killed multiple members of a family or friends in an auto accident at 1 time. Alcohol is addictive, harmful and dangerous. Yet it is still advertised and promoted and the alcohol industry is aware of the problems is causes. Are they not partly to blame for the problems it has caused for millions of people? How should this question be posted-food&drink, family&relationships,health,politics and govern-ment or society&culture?
I smoke and I don’t blame anyone but me. I don’t think advertising alcohol should be allowed because if someone is trying to quit it just complicates their problems.

My son is an alcoholic, and we had decided to send him to an alcohol rehab. I haven’t talked to him about this, though. What should I do?

My fiance can’t drink because of some genetic disorder. He can only describe it in the words that I am about to describe it. He doesn’t know what to call it, he just knows he cant drink alcohol, because his body can’t metabolize the alcohol. He asked me to look it up for him, but I can’t unless I know what I’m looking for. He asked his mom, and she didn’t know either.

When he was 14, he got sick, so he took some Nyquil. It has 10% alcohol in the bottle, you know. He only took a half of the measuring cup for the dose. Three days later, in lunch at school, he doubled over in pain, in the general area of his liver. The pain lasted about twenty minutes, and the school nurse gave him aspirin for a stomach ache (not the brightest nurse). He got home and the pain came back. The pain got worse. His body temp went up (its already high to begin with, about 98.8), he started sweating. He began to vomit a dark chocolate colored metalic tasting substance. They took him to the hospital. The doctors gave him liquid charcoal, thinking he’d been poisoned. About an hour after arriving at the hospital, he threw up the dark metalic tasting stuff, this time followed by the charcoal as well. They took an ultrasound to see if they could see what was wrong with him, to see if there was visible damage. They saw abnormality on his liver. They ran a blood test to see if he’d been poisoned and his blood alcohol level was through the roof (.16) which is odd because he doesn’t drink. The doctors asked if he’d had anything to drink with alcohol and he mentioned the Nyquil. He said that he’d only had two tablespoons of Nyquil. The doctors said that his blood alcohol level was the equivalent of having drank 12 oz of jack daniels, which is extreme for a 14 year old. Back then, the formula for the giant family bottle of Nyquil contained %25 alcohol. The doctor asked his mom if her alcohol tolerance was high or low. she said it was low, to which the doctor explained that her son (my fiance) is allergic to alcohol.

What is this?
i asked what is this and i get yes?

and how does “home remedies” help?
Thanks frank! and trust me, i don’t cook with alcohol unless he’s not eating it!

My son is 20 yrs old and had his 17 yr. old friend and a couple of girls (minors) in his car, he had an ice cooler with beer in it inside the car, BUT nobody was drinking nor had they been drinking at all. Honestly, there was no drinking. They got pulled over and my son got a ticket for contributing alcohol to minors and the other kids for minor in possession tickets. Is that right? My son is a minor too. Shouldn’t they all have gotten mip’s? Also, what might the penalty be when he goes to court? This is in Texas btw. Would it be wise to hire an attorney? One other bad part is, he told the cop the beer was his dad’s and he forgot it in his car. Now would that mean his Dad needs to go to court with him to testify the beer was his?

I have been married to my husband for almost 2 years, and we have a 6 month old son. When we first met, he was a great man, but he changed as soon as he found out that I was pregnant. He went from staying at home and being a husband, to hanging out at bars and clubs every weekend all hours of the night. We separated 2 weeks after our son was born. He lives with his mom, he has no job, and any money he gets he spends on alcohol and marijuana, not our son. I know we took our vows for better or worse, but I cannot deal with him. He says he never goes out, but he still hangs out with his “friend” every day. She drinks and smokes weed as much as he does, and she is 18. I don’t understand why he is even “friends” with her when he will be 36 years old next month. I am 28 years old by the way. What do I do? I gave him an ultimatum to either be there for me and our son and clean up his act and stop being friends with her, or we will no longer be a family. Did I do the right thing? And can I get a divorce because of it?
Also, his mom has kicked him out of the house twice, one time being last week and he is crying to me to help him. He even let his “friend” attack me when I told her to mind her business because my husband and I had an argument. I pressed charges against her and he sat there and did nothing. Instead he ran away from the incident and said that he doesn’t get in female conflicts.
He even let her use his phone to text and call me harrassing me, and I cursed her out and told her not to call me again. I am so tired of this.
