I have a friend........who is 14........who drinks beer.....I feel very disapointed in him and don't really want him to.......Also, he says on his myspace that he has gotten drunk before.
(I know him in real life and I've seen him drink a bit before.....But most of the time he said "Oh, I just put juice in beer bottles")
So, what can I do?

All I know is to pray for him. You don't want to tick him off if you confront him cause he'll just push you away then, but it needs to be dealt with, too. Drinking is very dangerous. Do his parents know about it?

His parents support it.


Then his parents have problems too. Do they have drinking problems by any chance? Have they been like that awhile if they do?

They don't really have a drinking problem, but they drink a lot and are drunk about once or twice a week.

Give him all the info he needs on consequences.
Tell him how you feel about it, but dont make it seem like you are making decisions for him. Make it known that you personally do not like drinking at his age etc. SO he doesn't feel like you are telling him what to do.
Pray to God, ask him to help you find the words, ask him to guide your friend on a healthier path.
Also, if he doesn't like how his parents turned out, or he doesn' tlilke how they cope or something tell him that he is just like them Point things out, show him...
I'll pray for him too. Maybe all the prayers can help.
