Hi,
Tell your parents that those friends are making a mistake, and you know that. That's why you know better than to do the same things.
Ask if your best friend can come to your house so they can supervise the visits. Once they get to know him they make change their mind.
Best of luck :-)

Well, if you like yer friend, tell him to stay away from the alcohol. If you are a good friend, you'd try to get them away from smoking and alcohol. I mean, if you like black lungs and drunken, idotic friends that will tell you the same story 20 times in a row while cleaning vomit stains off of their shirts, let them be that way.

Well, your parents probably won't change their minds. They just don't want anything bad to happen to you. They are just trying to do what is best for you. Plus, do you really want to be blamed for drinking when you really didn't? Someone could accuse you of drinking if you are with them a lot. If your friends are drinking, it can lead to them doing a lot of other stupid things too. So just ask your friends if they can let up on the drinking when you are around them, and if they say no, then you can tell them that you probably won't be able to do much with them anymore because your parents don't want you around friends that are drinking. If your friends say that they won't do it around you, then you can just tell your parents that, and maybe they will let you do stuff with your best friend again.
I hope things work out for you!

There's probably nothing you can do to change your parents' mind in the immediate future. They don't want you to get mixed up with the "wrong crowd" and think they're keeping you "safe" my not allowing you to talk to your friend. I realize that drinking or smoking every once in awhile isn't enough to condemn a person, parents see things differently when it comes to their own children.
If you think you have reasonable parents, or if you think you're really good at convincing them of things.. maybe you could talk them into letting your friend hang out with you at your house. That way you would still get to hang out with your best friend, and they could be certian that nothing "bad" is going to happen.

Your parents are only looking out for you. Just give it time and maybe they'll ease up.
You could try telling them that you'd never do such a thing, and that they're naive that they don't know that most teens do stuff like that today. Then tell them, "Unlike me, who knows well enough not to!"
And.. I guess you could tell them that they should just worry about YOU not drinking than other people.
