Our purpose was to shed light on how parents act in respect of providing Alcohol to young people when they ask for a taste of home, or wish to bring Alcohol to such a party. We used qualitative interviews and the results show that some of the respondents think that it may be acceptable to provide Alcohol, while some do not. The results also show that the respondents think that parents are important as a model for the young.

The reason for this behavior is the parents' assessment that the young person demonstrates a level of maturity for his age that they are presumed to be able to handle a small amount of Alcohol.
