I think you misunderstood what I meant. You didn't give your daughter some wine in order to make her like you more out of some desperate attempt to be her friend instead of her parent. Right now, there are too many people who want to be the "cool" parent by throwing alcohol-filled parties for their kids. I'd rather just give those kids the ability to do it themselves and strip those parents of that method of befriending their kids.
