[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with parents who drank wine and they let me occasionally drink a glass at home as a teen. I personally think this was a terrible idea. And it didn't prevent me from experimenting with drugs outside that context. Luckily, my excursion into that was very brief, and I never went back to it. I will absolutely NOT let my teen drink, but she has already learned the bad consequences of drug use from watching her Dad succumb to his personal issues. See, because my experimentation as a teen was brief and over, I had no problem believing my now ex when he said he had quit his habit. It didn't resurface till years into the marriage. His gateway drug wasn't alcohol either. Normalizing illegal drinking just isn't a great idea. Its better to explain why these laws exist, and talk very honestly about drinking and about how anyone can slip into alcoholism or any other addiction, given the right circumstances. [/quote]
