I was 17 and went to a work x-mas party (grocery store). The venue was a restaurant co-owned by the store manager. No one (least of all the manager) cared if anyone was drinking. And it was open bar. So I drank quite a bit.

Went home (was driven by another co-worker) only to see my mom waiting for me. She knew straight away I was tanked and was really upset. My mom said to wait up for my dad so he can give me a scolding.

My dad was at the neighbour’s watching hockey. He came home not long after, probably a bit more tipsy than I was. Asked me why I was up, I told him. He asked if I drove. I said no. He asked if I did something stupid. I said no. Told me, go to bed, if mom asks tomorrow tell her I told you off and we’ll think of some BS punishment later.

I’m pretty sure my mom still doesn’t know.
