I don't quite do that, but in our family you can have a glass of
wine/champagne/whatever with the rest of us at holiday dinners and such
when you're 16. I figure that gives them a safe environment to satisfy
curiosity and to learn to handle it. They're a lot less likely to be stupid
at parties and such- why get loaded on Annie Green Springs when you've sat
at a table of people enjoying themselves while lingering over something
nice from Edouard's or Malcolm's collection? Like stealing a Yugo when you
own a Jaguar. Doesn't make sense.
