Well, my parents used to let me have a drink or two with family meals after the age of 12, but those occaisions probably happened only twice a year. And when I was 14 we were at my grandmothers 65th birthday in a fancy italian restaurent, i'd had my 2 glasses of red wine and was quite tipsy but wanted more. My older cousin poured me another glass, awesome I thought. Later she poured me another. Fan*hic*tastic I thought, drinkings amazing. A short while later I threw up blood red puke over the table as the waiters were bringing my grandmothers birthday cake.. Suffice to say I wasn't allowed to drink for a couple of years. (didn't stop me having booze ups at friends from 15 onwards though...)
I'm not sure if my parents letting me try it in moderation when I was young made a big difference, i'm no binge drinker now, and have never had any alcoholic inclinations, but I certainly don't think it caused any damage... other than the italian restaurents tablecloth...
