I've yet to have any kids but I've been a kid and I've always believed the sooner you start treating them like adults the sooner they'll start acting like adults. Of course some people never really grow up, but I don't accept that alcohol is to blame for anyone's poor decision making. I think people use it as an excuse to make bad decisions more than it actually causes anyone to make bad decisions.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
