My kid is VERY aware of alcohol and doesn’t want it in our home. I had a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge that a colleague had given me as a thank-you for helping with a project. Kid asked me if I was going to drink it all. I said realistically, probably not, it was probably just going to sit there going flat. Kid asked if she could get rid of it then. I said that was fine. Kid waited until I was home from work to show me that she was pouring it down the sink. I wondered if this was something she had fantasized about doing with her alcoholic father’s bottles and now could act out with me (the non-alcoholic) - she could “defeat” alcohol with me as a witness. All of which is to say that I think children of alcoholics have very complex relationship with the stuff.
