its definitly not ok to give your kids alcohol but like my dad did at thanksgiving when i was like 7, he let me take a sip of his beer. i have never touched the stuff again. its the best way i think to get your kids to stay away from alcohol. let them try a little at a young age when they think itll taste nasty and they more then likely wont want to try it again. i know i dont. i am 16, i havent had a sip since.

Name : nicole, Gender : F, Race : White/Caucasian, Age : 16, City : Chicago, State : IL, Country : United States, Occupation : student,My parents were strictly against their children consuming alcohol all through my childhood. Around the age of 16 i started going to parties and got drunk for the first time. When I came home my parents had a talk with me about drinking the next morning, how much was a safe amount, never drink and drive, even some recipes for mixed drinks. THey told me if i wanted to drink socially i had to be responsible and safe. Those guidelines were set and i never had a problem with alcohol and i never drove drunk. Once a kid starts drinking in their teens or whenever its up to the parents to have a sit down with them.

J., Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Christian, Age : 23, City : Westfield, State : MA, Country : United States, Occupation : Minor League Baseball Player, Education level : 4 Years of College, Social class : Upper middle class,There is no age that would make it okay to give alchool to children. First of all it is against the law for a minor to drink alcohol. I feel that when my child gets of legal age which is 21 years old then he can have alcohol. And it will be his choice to drink. He may not want to drink. In no way sharp or form should it be given to a child or minor. It is not okay to distribute and casually give alcohol to a child. Please do not let your child drink alcoholic beverages before his/her time (21 years old)

My parents have raised me believing that it is a sin and therefore I feel that it is never okay to supply kids with alcohol. It is deffinately not okay to let them get drunk.

Name : Alison-Harden, City : Rolling Fork, State : MS, Country : United States,I find it hard to believe that a baby boomer is asking if it’s okay to contribute to the delinquency of a minor, if ‘it’s okay if they get drunk’. Wow, what’s going on here? What you’re talking about, letting minor children get drunk, is a crime. However, having a glass of wine with dinner is cultural and can be appropriate. But let’s back up a minute and assume that this is simply awkwardly asked. Children in France and Italy grow up drinking wine with meals. Perhaps this is what is meant? From what I’ve heard eventually the kids get to be teens, want to get drunk, so the parents let them get rip-snorting drunk — at home. The parents mix alcohol and make sure the kid gets incredibly drunk — not drunk enough to die, but drunk enough to feel HORRIBLE the next day. Usually that’s all it takes. And, significantly, there is less alcohol abuse in these societies. But if you are asking permission from society to let your kids run wild and you want to abdicate your parental responsibilities… I’d say think again.

So I’d say that little sips here and there are fine….but getting them drunk? Definitely not!
