It is legal for you to drink at home with an adult.

Hell no! Don't even go there. Get caught giving alcohol to minors, even the ones that belong to
you, and you get to pay some lawyers.

Yes, you are right.

It would be "contributing to the delinquency of minors."

I had my first "public" drink at the age of 13.

I was a big, strapping, muscular guy and looked somewhat older than 13.

Our family had taken a trip to Fargo, North Dakota, USA.

My parents, older sister and I went to a country bar (with sawdust on the floor), where I had a Hamm's draft.

I didn't like beer then, but I did like the experience.

Most 13 year olds want to be accepted as grown up and I was no exception.

My dad was taking a bit of a risk. But even if he was charged and convicted, he would only have a criminal record in the US.

At the time, a criminal record outside of Canada was only minimally pertinent to Canadian authorities in Canada.
