Very interesting topic to ponder, being the mother of 2. My parents never drank, or at least not in front of me, and never taught me how to drink responsibly. That was obvious when I went away to college. My first 2 years are a blur. Now, my children see me have a glass of wine or a beer, now and then. I do not hide it from them. But I also do not drink when we are at family parties, if I am the one driving home. My hopes are to teach them how to drink responsibly, no drinking and driving, stay at a friend's house if you cannot drive home, stuff like that. Will I let them have a taste when they are older, but not the legal drinking age? yeah, I probably will. As long as they are with me. I think. I will have to give this more thought as they get older.
