I began drinking alcohol with my family from a reasonably young age, probably around 10 or so, when I discovered that I enjoyed the taste of wine. I would really only drink alcohol (almost always wine or beer, occasionally a sip of something stronger) with my family. It was a very healthy learning experience, and because of it, alcohol was never an unspoken taboo or mystery to me. I would occasionally get mildly inebriated (face flushed and very giggly, motor skills and balance becoming less acute), but my parents were always around to make sure I was OK. I never got sick from drinking but did wake up with a hangover twice.

Starting at an early age is fine, as long as you moderate the quantity of liquor consumed. If a child begins to get very giggly, displaying the first stages of mild intoxication, it would probably be wise to stop them for their health above anything else. As they grow older, their ability to tolerate alcohol will increase. Teaching a child about alcohol from a young age is perhaps the best way to teach your child about drinking. A teenager who has gotten drunk with a parent knows exactly what alcohol will do to them and their friends at a party and will make much wiser decisions.
