[quote=Anonymous]My parents drank socially quite a bit, and never made it mysterious for me. For as long as I can remember, they would have let me have a sip of wine or beer, which I of course thought was disgusting. In high school, if I had asked for a margarita or something they would have let me have one. Their thought was they would rather have me experiment with them. Probably not a great idea for a lot of kids, but it certainly worked for me. I never thought drinking was cool or mysterious, never drank at parties with friends, never drank and drove. In college I occasionally drank, but never to extremes. I've been throw up drunk exactly once in my life. I'm almost 40 and still rarely drink. My kids (under 10) have had sips of wine (they think it is gross). I plan to approach things similarly with them unless something in their personalities changes my mind.[/quote]
