When we moved into the base housing when I was in high school we owned a refrigerator but the base housing came with a fridge. We just moved that fridge into my bedroom to store the leftovers and my dad kept his beer in there. Yep, I was a teenager with a fridge of cold beer in my room. It was explained in very simple clear straightforward terms that the beer was not mine to drink.
Air Force officers attend and throw a lot of parties. Every party that my parents had other officers would wonder into my room looking for the beer. They were all astonished I had the beer in my room.
I understood the punishment phase clearly and never touched his beer. I did on a few occasions go to the base package store after I turned 18 and buy my own six pack of the same brand and mix it in. I kept careful count.
It was great having leftovers in my room. Fried chicken is good cold.
