Some parents try to eliminate the “forbidden fruit” aspect of alcohol by offering their teenager half a glass of wine with their dinner or a beer in the sauna. Others think it’s OK to allow their children to see what alcohol tastes like in the belief that they’ll find it revolting. But whatever you think is the best approach, the research all shows the same thing: if you offer children alcohol, you’re telling them it’s OK to drink, even though you’re not an adult. You can’t, in other words, teach youngsters how to drink alcohol by offering them a drink at home. The only thing you’re teaching them is to drink.
