That seems like such a fuzzy law. What if I'm drinking at home, with parents present, but asleep? That pretty much sums up my early years.
It is a parental/guardian matter, unless they are encouraging you to get drunk.
I grew up being allowed to drink whenever I wanted at home. But my parents and grandparents didn't allow me to get intoxicated and I never wanted to. It wasn't illegal. And I didn't grow up in a Baptist (etc.) church.
As an adult, I rarely drink alcohol. But now that you mentioned it, I'll think I'll go get a beer.

Side question. As a parent, I'm trying to decide if letting my kids have a drink at special occasion's(Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc) will make them less curious about drinking. Was that the case for you?

They're not gonna do anything to the teabagger victim either. I don't think they could post hoc, even if they wanted to. I agree with NBamaAlum.

I grew up in a family where drinking was seen as normal. None are true alcoholics as far as I know, but it was completely normal to start drinking at seven in the morning on gamedays of Christmas/Thanksgiving. My dad had at least one drink nightly. If anything, I learned how people that know how to handle it should act.

I would have to say yes.
Drinking responsibly is being responsible, whether it's you or your child doing it, IMO. I'm of the opinion that the parents should set the example.
Did being allowed to drink affect my drinking? I think so. It never elicited the sense of novelty for me that it did with a lot of my friends.
I loved beer when I was a small child and would liberate it from my parents refrigerator on occasion. I truly liked the taste. I grew to be somewhat indifferent to it. Plus, my parents were careful to watch and make sure that I didn't have more than one.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked this question over the years.

Thanks. I appreciate the honesty. Parenting is not an easy process(as you may know), so the experiences of others can be great. I'm leaning towards a glass of wine or beer on holidays, AFTER their 14th birthday.

The problem is never beer. It's when they begin to catch that rush you get when you shoot whiskey. That rush to your head is the addicting part.
We're talking about kids. I never had the desire to shoot whiskey, in a large amount anyway. And that "rush" is different with different individuals. It should never be encouraged. I can only speak for myself. People do ask me about this a lot because I drink rarely. People who knew me and what I did at home (with drinking) growing up are amazed that I don't drink much or often.
Like I said, I've been asked the question hundreds of times.

alcoholism is NOT a crime, since alcohol is legal. putting your sack on another guy may or may not be a crime, unless it was caught on youtube and the national pastime of bitching takes its course. Then even anything can be a crime.

Sexual assault is always a crime brahh. Had I been caught pissing in the middle of the street drunk, I would have been prosecuted. Not that that would ever happen.

Good for you! We can't prevent our loved ones from making mistakes but we can teach (by example)
responsibility.
responsibility.

I agree, or do not agree with this comment.
What you drinkin' main?

I was trying to articulate that far smaller crimes get punished on a regular basis. The video is simply proof of the lewd act that would not typically exist. However, since that evidence does exist, there is no reason for him to not be prosecuted.

That's my goal. I'll know in 10 years if I succeeded.

You can only do your part. The only people we can change are ourselves. If they choose to drink irresponsibly, it won't be your fault. Believe me.
They're going to be pressured many times by their friends. It will happen regardless of your actions.
I just didn't let them do my thinking. That's another issue.
