You know, Whodey, from my early teens on, I drank with my parents. In fact, it was often encouraged. As a mother of three teenagers, I find myself disgusted with this fact now. My eldest is almost 20 and while I know that he has drank alcohol and probably still does, I, in no way, feel comfortable promoting this. It feels entirely unnatural to me to encourage him to hurt his body and mind with that crap. When he turns 21, I guess my husband might share a beer or two with him, but I am not sure that is something that my husband is pining away to do. We are both adult children of alcoholics, so I am sure that our perspective is skewed, but we both wish that we had grown up with a perspective that alcohol isn't such a "big" thing.
