Up here the drinking age is 19, the thing is kids are going off to college at 18. Do you think they aren't drinking there? I will, however, give them the same deal that my parents gave to me.
1) Don't ever lie to me about if you have been drinking or not. I will know.
2) Don't ever drive while drunk or get a ride from someone who is. If you have to call a cab to get home instead, I will pay for the cab. You will pay me back, but my rates are reasonable and may be in the form of chores instead of cash.
3) Understand that drinking underage is illegal and if you get caught, I'm not paying the ticket, you are.

18 and of legal adult age is different I guess I wasn't clear on that in my op. I also like the deal you have given them; it is reflective of the one I have talked about with my own son.

Giving your child a sip of your drink is an entirely different scenario then buying them a few six packs or a bottle to booze it up in the family room, just my opinion.
