[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just basing this on my own family: my parents don't drink much, but are not teetotalers. They do have a drink or two at parties, holidays, family gatherings etc. No history of alcoholism, just not much interest.

I am the oldest and was not even allowed ONE sip of champagne at a New Year's Eve party as a 17 year old. I rebelled. I don't drink much as an adult but definitely did more than my fair share of drinking in my late teens all the way into my early 20s.

My parents were more permissive with my much younger sister in every way, including with drinking. If she wanted a sip of wine as a 16 year old at the family Seder, she got one. She didn't have much interest in drinking until college, and similarly to me, barely drinks now as an adult.

For my kids, moderation will be the approach. I'm not going to make drinking an irresistible forbidden thing the way my parents did with me.  [/quote]

The "forbidden fruit myth" is just that... a myth.[/quote]
