[quote=Anonymous]Just a contrary opinion, we were told at the alcohol and drug seminars at our kids' schools to not allow kids to try alcohol at home when they are young. The educators leading the seminar said that research shows that the longer you delay the first sip of alcohol, the first time a kid tries drugs, and the first time they have sex, the healthier they will be as adults. Obviously, people have been plenty of evidence to the contrary but we've followed that advice about not giving sips of alcohol at home and our teens have not been wild -- at least not yet! (This was also the rule in my house growing up and I didn't have any trouble in college or beyond with alcohol.)[/quote]
