[quote=Anonymous]I'm French. My relatives drank wine at every meal except breakfast. Kids were allowed a sip.

I have never binged or gotten drunk in my life. I don't actually drink except a half glass at the Holidays. I have raised my kids the same way. Right now my oldest is studying in France and has gone with friends to wine-tastings and such. He's always the sober driver. My teen does not drink. Some people just aren't interested in alcohol, OP.

The kids who are interested will of course be at risk for all sorts of alcohol-related issues, and need more education on restraint, and consequences of not restraint. But it really depends on the kids you have. If they're intelligent and have natural control over their impulses it will be fine. If you have a very impulsive kid with a taste for alcohol... it's going to be difficult no matter what you do.
Since my kids are 20 and 15, I've seen all kinds of behavior in their circle of friends, and in my friends' kids. The parents have less control over it than they think they have.
