My dad allowed us to have a small amount of wine at 14 or 15. Never unsupervised, always at the dinner table with plenty of good food. Around 16 or 17, we might be able to have a beer with mom while she watched football, but never alone; we had to be social. It had the advantage of taking the mystery out of alcohol and ensuring we didn’t get drunk. It is not OK for children to get drunk or to drink hard liquor. It is dangerous and sets a bad precedent. If there is a history of alcoholism in the family, it’s probably a bad idea to give children alcohol at all.
