Seems the opinions on children and alcohol are divided into a number of camps.
1) The "
NO" parents where as Taera points out curiosity and rebellion may be a factor.
2) The gentle "No" parent for children underage such as Ruatha.
3) The gentle "No" parent for children under age but with an occasional relaxation under controlled conditions so they can have the experience under supervision and not look for it elsewhere. (My position)
4) The liberal parent. (No ones position, yet.

)
Taera, I know 1) is not your personal position. Just your observation how children may react to the "
NO" parent. An observation which I happen to agree with.
