I think it's all about the situation. If I as a parent notice that I have some addictive qualities and those same qualities are in the children then I have to be a bit more careful about introducing the alcohol. Of course if it was used to augment meals and taught that moderation is the key then hopefully that would curb any binging.
but then.. I fully expect the kid to be a kid and try to get away with whatever they can. that's just part of life.
in my own situation, any type of alcohol consumption was sinful to my parents. so it wasn't introduced in any form or manner. so what did I do? well.. I think most of you know the answer to that question. there's a fine line in this somewhere..it's just finding where it is for you and your kids.
