College is the earliest kids should try alcohol (responsibly, although it might be wishful thinking). [/quote]

Not trying until college reduces the likelihood your kid will try responsibly then.[/quote]

You made that up. [/quote]

Kids who have never had alcohol, particularly if it is because of parent restrictions, are more likely to go crazy with the freedom of college.  They are also less prepared to handle the effects of alcohol so are more likely to get trashed, intentionally or not.[/quote]
NP, and you have literally no research to back that up.

As someone who studies alcohol addiction, you’re damn right I would mind if my 15 year old drank.  I’m not so naive as to think teenagers never drink, but I’m not going to approve it or supply for them or tell them it’s okay.  Same for weed.  Both substances are terrible for developing brains.

The problem is that you’re surrounded with worst case scenario so you really actually don’t understand what happens to the majority of kids.[/quote]
