That's absurd
First of all, it's still illegal to provide a child with alcohol - even if it's not for a party. Secondly, in a family with an overwhelming susceptibility to being an alcoholic, I wouldn't think this "opening Pandora's box" to be a very good idea. Alcohol is a "magic potion," for some folks - a magic potion akin to poison. Alcoholism doesn't develop because parents had strict rules about not drinking.. it just rears its ugly head after you begin drinking. I'm the only.. the *only* one in my mom's family who can honestly say they are not an alcoholic - the only reason is because I have never drank alcohol. The biggest help in deciding this, though, was having my parents drink in front of me - so, feel free to do that and make an idiot out of yourself. Then maybe your kid will avoid alcohol altogether. It's really stupid to suggest that folks do illegal things with children in order to promote responsibility.
