    They'll be fine. Give them unrealistically low drink limits like 1 or 2. They'll stretch it and have 4 or 5. Which is where you really want them to stop. Where I come from if they are 17.5 and 18, they've been drinking for awhile now already. Watch them the first couple days, give them a chance to earn your trust by responding to the responsibility you have given them.

    Irine- I'm well aware of this. They spend many weeks alone at our cabin with "friends." Can't complain it is always spotless when we get up there.

    Maybe I can have them touch base with you in another 1.5 years when they go to school by you. They are debating Duluth or Superior. Superior is cheaper but Duluth is nicer.

    On a serious note, my children, and all of my friends children got a free pass with us while they were growing up and going through that "invincible" period. No matter where they were or who they were with, or what time it was, all they had to do is call, we'd pick them up no questions asked. They could go home or stay with us, the only rule is call home and let mom and dad know you were safe. So when the time comes, Duluth or Superior, I'll be happy to meet them and offer them the same service. We have a duty to keep these young kids alive during the first years of their coming of age. Sounds to me as though they already deeply respect your opinion and have respect for the responsibility you have given them. As an aside, Jamaican bar tenders won't serve them if they think they have had enough, they are quite perceptive. i think you've done all the groundwork already and you'll have a great time!
