From my experience, growing up alcohol was always a part of family life. It was there and accessible and therefore never a taboo as long as there was supervision. I feel that a majority of problems insociety about underage drinking is that these individuals are doing something that they are not supposed to do. I never had that thrill. I have kept this ideal with my own children to a point, even though I don’t keep my liquor cabinet nearly as well stocked as my parents did, (and don’t care to). If my children wanted to join me in a beer or drink they are welcome as long as I set limits and they are staying here. As far as letting them get drunk, not until they are mid to late teen, A hangover can be a very influentual learning tool as it was for me, one was enough. By removing the drinking taboo in my home my children (ages 13 and 16) have no desire to drink which is wonderful in my eyes, some family traditions need not live on forever.
