I was very interested in your last answer about alcohol , do you think we as a nation are not on the ball with it, I know in some countries ie, France , Italy etc the children are brought up from an early age drinking at the family table with a meal & they don't seem to suffer as much in later years with problems such as our country does?
Not sure I'd describe it as not on the ball because it may suggest they are right and we are wrong and I don't have in-depth knowledge or evidence to suggest that.
My personal belief is there's no logical reason why you shouldn't give your children a small amount of alcohol if they want to try a bit or if they want to join with a toast or social occassion. (which would include a meal) I'd rather introduce my girls to alcohol instead of having them discover it.
As for associated social problems there's probably many factors that lead to this.
