I was less than 1 when the Drinking Act of 1984 was passed. So I can't say I had a solid opinion about it.
Alcohol is something that should only be enjoyed by people with the maturity necessary not to abuse it. Considering the incredible stigmas attached to alcohol for people between 18-20, and considering how often it leads to terrible tragedies, I would be remiss to allow my child or children to drink underage. What kind of message would that send to them? "Alcohol is so important, I think it's worth breaking the law to drink it." That's not a message I'm comfortable communicating.
