    I’ve got lots of Irish buddies who were given a tablespoon of Guinness every day since they were toddlers. Granted, a lot of them are kinda pale and weedy, but that’s not so exceptional in a country that gets about fifteen minutes of sunshine a year. (: I’d say it’s not a big deal; if you teach your children a responsible attitude towards alcohol rather than demonise it you’ll probably have fewer issues. Refined sugar is causing a lot more damage to American youth these days, anyway. Reminds me of the drugs policy here in Holland – essentially, marijuana’s been decriminalised. Some American official came over here and lectured us on how we need to update our drug laws (I’m saying us even though I’m an American), the EU is frothing at the mouth, BUT the usage and addiction rates for both weed and hard drugs are a lot lower in Holland than in the US or in the surrounding EU countries. Say what you want; I’ll go with the practical solution any day.
