Well, check it out for yourself, but I think research actually showed that what your wife suggests, doesn’t result in kids who are more responsible drinkers.

When I was a teenager we knew we were not supposed to drink so we would have sneaky, quiet beer parties out in the fields by a river. Where I live now, the kids would sneak down to Puget Sound and have parties.

In my mind, it is safer for kids to be nervous and careful about their drinking rather than have it be openly condoned by families.

The paranoia seemed to keep all of us safe because we did not want to get in trouble for being bad.
