[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We let our teen daughters have a little bit of alcohol at home when we're drinking, although they don't do it outside the home. I'd rather that they are exposed to it at home first and learn their limits when they are around us rather at some random college party.[/quote] “Your limits” vary depending on level of hydration, food consumption, strength of drink, timing of consumption, and many other factors. And “legally drunk” feels like “nothing.” By the time a person gets to I’ll be fine,” they’re typically way over the legal threshold. Alcohol consumption legitimates consuming industrial solvent. Encouraging kids to drink for effect as a “learning experience” is asinine. There are cultures (the Latin countries come to mind) where wine is thought of as food. Even that can be dangerous, but at least there typically are cultural gunwales built in. [/quote]
