I don't think you should drink with him. With that kind of age difference, it'll just lead to bad things. Just tell him you changed your mind or you're just not in the mood for any. It's nice that you're friends with him & all, but in all honesty, drinking with him [when he works with the police] and where it's illegal, is not the best idea.
Courtney answered Friday July 20 2007, 10:41 pm: No, darling, I don't think you should drink anything. I don't think that your male friend would try and take advantage of you. However, if you really care about him, you wouldn't risk it. What if you were to get drunk, and being 16, your legal guardian was to find out? They'd be curious to know wouldn't they or some other adult. And what if you're seen. What if you're caught? Not only are you risking getting yourself into trouble but your 40 year old friend as well. He could go to jail. And if you care about him, or yourself b/c you never know how things really turn out to be about those that you think you know, then you wouldn't risk it at all. Either way, it's too risky and in the end, you both may get into trouble. It's not worth that. Besides, even if you don't get caught, you may have to deal with a terrible hangover, unless you can hold your alcohol really well. Bye and hope I was some help.

You're not 21. You'll get in trouble.
His supplying the alcohol. It's illegal. He'll get in a shitload of trouble.
He is known around the town. Bad image.
40 and 16yr old...sounds a bit...you know.
He knows your mom...hmm, let's think about that. What if your mom finds out?
dancedance42 answered Friday July 20 2007, 9:37 pm: youre not 21.
so it would be illegal.
and he could get in trouble for giving alcohol to a minor. its a no all the way around.
HBP answered Friday July 20 2007, 9:33 pm: i myself could never resist an offer for vodka, but if i were you, i wouldnt drink, both because he is older than you and its a bit sketchy, your only 16, and he knows ur mum. [ HBP's advice column | Ask HBP A Question ]
