Oops - I meant Thread not Threat - but underage drinking IS a Threat so I guess either word would apply.
DS has been at college one week, a small liberal arts school that doesn't have a rep as a party school. He is in a substance-free freshman dorm, and says the guys on his floor spend their evenings drinking at the frat houses. He's never cared about peer pressure or been interested in alcohol or other substances (his "drugs" all have circuit boards and chips) and I believe him when he says he's just in his room on the computer (plus he's IMing me every evening so probably isn't at a party using his laptop).
But what about drinking on campus? I know it's a problem just about everywhere but I wasn't expecting it from freshmen who had to sign a substance-free housing contract. Yes, I know the contract applied to the dorm itself - but I guess I thought the type of kids who would sign a contract like that would not be the kind to dive right in and go to "Thirsty Thursday" parties their first week of school!
I hope this is just a "whoopie, no parents!" kind of thing - but I'm concerned.
