[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG! Lighten up! Have you never been a teen in the US? Of course teens drink. The key is being open and honest. If you make it off limits and "bad", they'll become binge drinkers! I'm not for buying beer and liquor for kids. Bur, my kids drink, if we go, wine every Sunday (at mass). Really put it into perspective. [/quote]

Once again, Einstein, all the research out there says you are wrong. The key is being firm about your beliefs and expectations. Drinking under age is against the law and you expect your children to abide by the law. Kids who are raised in houses like these are less likely to drink in high school, less likely to binge drink, and less likely to develop drinking problems.

The research is also unequivocal that the earlier kids start drinking, the more likely they are to develop alcoholism.[/quote]

I think the key is the amount of alchohol parents drink in the home. My parents did not drink at home, did not allow alcohol of any sort. All of my friends and I binge drank in high school; most of us stopped in college, except those friends whose parents drank the most at home. [/quote]

What you think is not data.[/quote]
