    I live in culture that drinking part of doing business. Drinking during business meetings was inevitable. Therefore able to stay conscious during business negotiation is the key to successful business. My family allowed us to have some alcohol when we were very little. I don’t recall we were ever band from drinking alcohol. I remember my first sip of beer was at the age 5. They believed that by allowing us to drink it took away the mystery out of alcohol and we were able to know where our limits so we won’t drink ourselves to intoxication. It also increases our body’s ability to consume alcohol. My parents trusted us when we were out with friends partying because they believe that we are capable of making right decision. I think starting at an early age is okay as long as the quantity of alcohol was controlled. Allowing children to understand alcohol at younger age may be the best way to teach them about drinking. Children who had gotten drunk with a parents will understand what alcohol will do to them so they are more capable making the right decision and be responsible when it came to alcohol. Although I won’t make the same suggestion if there are member in the family that had history of intoxication, it may have negative influence to the children. The main idea is to teach children how to handle alcohol healthily and responsibly
