Do your parents/ or do you as a parent, on special occasions like holidays let your Teens have a little wine or some type of alcohol?A small amount ofcourse.

Mr. Stefani · 11-28-2003, 12:23 PM

My parents don't care if I am drinking around them..not like hard liquior, but like last night all of us had a few glasses of wine. How else would they get us to stay home on a holiday

? When I was a kid they'd give me a sip. I remember how much I hated wine, yet i'd still take a sip because I thought I was cool

But my irish side of the family(which I hate) if me and my bro and sister ever go there for some holiday(which is rare), they don't care what we drink as long as we're not driving home. Most of the time I act as their bartender. Irish coffee with desert is a normal thing for them.

I was born in Dominican Republic, and over there..there really is no drinking age. It's supposedly "18" but nobody cares, people will sell you drinks anywhere and everywhere. So my parents on special occasions let me have a glass or two of wine.

I've had some sips of wine and beer. I hated it-

Same here. I had Thanksgiving at my friend's house yesterday and they offered me some. I couldn't because I was driving home later.

Mijada · 11-28-2003, 01:01 PM

My mom never made any big deal about us drinking underage as long as we stayed at the house and didn't go anywhere. I never saw any interest in it though. I'm the only one in my family who never drank.

PZelda · 11-28-2003, 01:05 PM

Yeah, I've had wine before -- we do it on New Year's too. But the last couple of years, I've been drinking non-alcoholic wine, and I think it's a great alternative. Plus, they make some really awesome-tasting ones. I esp. like the wildberry one they make.

Ewan's My Man · 11-28-2003, 02:34 PM

Hmm...let's see, I usually can have sips of things.

I had a glass of champagne at my cousin's engagement party, and wedding.

My daddy made me something w/ something in it the other night, it was yummy

And in my house, the first time you come back from college (Thanksgiving) you're treated like ur 21 and can drink whatever you want.

Titania · 11-28-2003, 02:49 PM

My parents let me have small amounts whenever-- champagne, wine, beer

I think it makes sense because if I'm allowed small amounts at home, I don't feel like some of my friends where I have to go out and get drunk on the weekends.

Georgia's on my Mind · 11-28-2003, 03:01 PM

yeah...but i usually don't...

pandora_spocks · 11-28-2003, 04:07 PM

My parents don't care if I drink or not. I always help myself to a big glass of wine whether it's a special occassion or not.

Kristina · 11-28-2003, 04:11 PM

Yeah, I had it when it turned 2003. It made me sick, I'd rather stick to drinking cider for New Year's. It looks like wine except it's better.

HuntingtonM15 · 11-28-2003, 05:01 PM

My mom doesn't care, so I could if I wanted to drink. And at my cousin's fiance's graduation party last summer, my aunt kept telling me I should drink beer, but I don't like it.

Kay Scarpetta · 11-28-2003, 06:21 PM

My parents don't let me, but on New Years and such, they don't even notice. Like at my cousins wedding 2 years ago I got drunk off champagne. They didn't notice. Other times I just sneak it. What they don't know won't hurt them... not like I drive anyway.

Crimson and Clover · 11-28-2003, 06:31 PM

My mom wouldnt care if I had some, but I wouldnt want any.
