Well, I let my six-year-old daughter have a sip of my beer. Now, mind you I drink Murphy's Stout or Boddington's Pub Ale usually so it's pretty bitter.
Her reaction? "It tastes like I'm drinking throw-up."
Sometimes a little education is the best deterrent. Of course, when she's a teenager she'll have a different attitude about it; but I'm betting she won't want to try it again until then (peer pressure is a real bitch).
As for providing alcohol for her friends when they are teenagers. Nope.
For her when she's an older teen-ager? Maybe ... we'll have to see what kind of teenager she is.
