[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I'm just going to answer anyway even though I'm not your target responder. Our American-French kids have practically always been allowed sips of wine or hard cider at the table, and starting at 16, French cafes allow certain low-alcohol drinks. They've always refused those, because the sips convinced them they actually don't like the taste of alcohol! It's not that surprising - DH and I drink rarely and when we do, it's never more than half a glass, so I think our children are genetically predisposed not to have much liking for alcohol.

There. Must have blown your mind.[/quote]

Not really. I grew up not being allowed to drink before I was of age. Same for my siblings. I may have 1 full drink a year (spread out over 3 different evenings where I occasionally sip the drink, each evening having maybe 1/3 of a serving). I don’t think kids are infrequent drinkers because they were or weren't allowed to drink before turning 21. Im not clutching my pearls all worried about this. I’m just seeing if people who don’t allow it at home, would be adverse to it elsewhere.  [/quote]
