lovelorcet Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Look up dog in the urban dictionary (google it) there are like 30 meaning of it. Could just be some 40's of beer or something so it is pretty harmless... Look yourself though...
BlueEyedSarah Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I heared my 17 yr old son on the phone asking his mate this.. " Now then, can you get me and connor our 2 dogs for tonight" What is 2 dogs??? Im panacing incase its a name for a drug, help please x I'm not much help as I don't know what it means. It doesnt sound plesant though '2 dogs'. Sounds like drugs to me, but lets hope its not!
Art_Critic Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 It's a 40 ounce beer. he was asking his friend if he could get them a couple of beers
Kinger25 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Over here (in the UK) its a glass bottled drink. A bit like fortified wine (sherry / port) but much stronger. Its dark red in colour and smells like liqourice. Its what my friends and I used to get drunk on as teenagers because it was cheap and got you hammered quickly. Dont know if it's the same thing over there though. Why not ask your son what it means ?

tinktronik Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Dogs ....40 dogs . AC is right , its a 40 oz. beer.
Kinger25 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 "Dogs ....40 dogs . AC is right , its a 40 oz. beer." Depends where she is. Its a different kind of drink over here, its as I described in my last post. Either way, I think we've established that it's alcohol and not hard drugs.

Either way, I think we've established that it's alcohol and not hard drugs. It is perplexing to me that because it is alcohol that it is okay for a 17 year old to be drinking it.. as long as it isn't hard drugs.. I am an Alcoholic ( Sober almost 20 years ) I drank when I was a teen.. but didn't get drunk.. I think I can honestly say that if I had been caught by my parents at 17 that my Dad would've flipped and it might have changed my drinking career and possibly I might have had to fall as far down as I did before I got help. If it were my child I would be having a talk with him about it and putting my foot down to underage drinking.. It might possibly be saving his life ..or at least changing his future.. But then again.. it wasn't hard drugs

littlekitty Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 AC, I certainly appreciate what you are saying to Susie. However, it's worth remembering that over here the legal age for buying alcohol is 18 (rather than the US's 21). Therefore he's only a year off legal. That said, you do as always make some valid points.
lovelorcet Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Where I am it is only 16 and I have to say I find this works much better then 21 in the states. Kids here have to learn to deal with drinking before they start driving.

My post still stands.. as 17 is still underage drinking..just because he is within a year of legally drinking doesn't mean she should let him do it..and it doesn't change my argument.. As a parent yourself ( or step parent ..same difference really ) when your child drinks outside the home illegally I would think you will correct him instead of brushing off your parenting and think " Whew.. it could be drugs "... This is what parenting is...

As a parent yourself ( or step parent ..same difference really ) when your child drinks outside the home illegally I would think you will correct him instead of brushing off your parenting and think " Whew.. it could be drugs "... This is what parenting is... I agree entirely with what you are saying AC. I just wasn't sure if you were aware of the difference. I personally would correct under age drinking. I did it myself and because of that I know the risks that doing it can bring. I would hope that I would be able to teach both my step child and own children about responsible drinking and the perils of irresponsible drinking. Neither underage drinking nor drugs (full stop) are acceptable in my eyes. That may well be the pot calling the kettle black, but we all want better for our children that we necessarily had ourselves. And I would hope that my own experiences will allow me a better insight in these issues and allow me to recognise these when they occur. Unfortunately underage drinking seems not only the norm in the UK, but also to be accepted. Why I don't know....
lovelorcet Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 On the other hand kids will be kids... What is better to force them so deep into the undergound that you no longer have a clue what is giong on?
littlekitty Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 On the other hand kids will be kids... What is better to force them so deep into the undergound that you no longer have a clue what is giong on? That's why you teach them about responsible drinking?! Yes kids are kids. And peer pressure will be in abundance. But if you teach them right, you can hope to avoid this.

But if you teach them right, you can hope to avoid this. You are right.. LK.. I wanted to point out something.. When I started to drink as a teen the drinking age in GA was 18.. it turned to 19 when I was 19..and then to 21 when I was 22.. So I was able to drink legally from the age of 18 on.. My experience is parallel with the OP's son.. I started drinking as a teen before the age of 18 and you can bet the the OP's son has been drinking for a bit longer than he just started.. (I think I was 16 when I started but never got drunk until I was legal ). Take it for what it is worth.. Because he started drink at an early age doesn't mean he is going to have a drinking problem but it also is no excuse to stop parenting.. Educating your children about underage drinking and the effects it can have on their future life is parenting.. Like I said.. if my parents had caught me it would have changed my drinking career.. Okay.. I'm off my soap box...
littlekitty Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I hear what you are saying AC. Out of interest, what are your thoughts on introducing children to alcohol in a responsible way? For example, the Europeans think nothing of serving small amounts of wine to children with a meal. I was also treated this way from a teenager. Whether I think this is right or wrong is something I'm still trying to figure out completely. To me this is still underage drinking, however, the opinion seems to be that introducing it in this manner, responsibly takes away some of mystery and excitement of sneaking around doing it behind your parents back. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this. No alcohol what so ever, or introduce it in a responsible manner and take away the mystery? This is still underage drinking and I'd imagine you would feel this is still a no go area?
lovelorcet Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I think it does make a big difference if you remove the taboo of it.
