[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I’m inadvertently preparing my kids (13 and 10) to be future alcoholics or underage drinkers because kiddie cocktails and virgin pina coladas/margaritas are easily their favorite things to order at restaurants and we’ve never stopped them. It never even crossed my mind, really. Do I need to start researching AA meetings right now?[/quote]

Research shows the opposite, you are demystifying alcohol and teaching them to understand socialization vs hiding and binging. [/quote]
It’s 2018 and people still believe this? Oh, dear.[/quote]

You are confusing belief with research. But, I’m always happy to review new information. Please share peer reviewed journals sharing to the contrary. [/quote]
The “if you let them drink as teens they’ll learn moderation” myth is just that. A myth. And is not supported by research. In fact, the research shows that it may actually lead to more problems with alcohol down the road.

If you have evidence that shows the opposite, I’m always happy to review new information. Please share peer review journals sharing to the contrary. [/quote]

DP. But this isn't "if you let them drink alcohol, as teens, they'll learn moderation". This is "if you let them drink things that are not alcohol out of glasses that look like the glasses people drink alcohol out of, as teens, they'll learn moderation". Is there any research on that?[/quote]
