My 8 year old asked to try a sip of my beer. I let her. She almost puked just because it revolted her. Doesn't want to drink beer anymore. I told her wine and spirits were worse.

Yes, I permit my 6 month old to imbibe on occasion.

Promoting drinking to your kids before they start college is trashy
Seriously. Be a responsible parent. It doesn't matter that you started drinking when you were a fetus. Quit raising shittier kids.

There's a difference between drinking and getting drunk. Its not like parents in Europe let their kids house 6 packs at 14, they are drinking a glass of wine with dinner or a beer in the beer garden on a nice saturday afternoon. Not tailgating and doing keg stands with their parents before football games.
I don't have an issue with that, and I'll likely let me kids drink around 16. A glass of wine or beer on special occasions, maybe 2 or 3. Not drinking beer all day with me on saturdays while watching football though.
Given that, as someone that worked in restaurants during college and HS in Florida it was mind blowing how many Louisiana parents tried to buy their kids alcohol. Then, they couldn't believe that they were unable to like they could in Louisiana. I don't have an issue with that in Louisiana at all, but it was just laughable how many acted like they didn't know you were unable to in a majority of the country.

Jeez. I'm happy the majority of you baws weren't my parents. Had my first beer with my old man when I was twelve after completing a 10 day backpacking/canoeing trip in Canada. Fast forward to beginning of Junior year of HS and my parents were cool with me drinking, as long as I didn't drive. I could either sleep in my old jeep or call them to pick me up. From time to time I would drink with my parents and test my drinking limits around them. Did I end up drinking to much? A couple times. But they were there to take care of me. By the time I went off to college, I could handle my alcohol and knew my limits better than almost all of my friends.
I can't even tell you the amount of times in college I saw some chick/baw with super strict parents get way to fricked up because they had zero idea how to drink an appropriate amount for their experience/size.

When they reach the "age of reason". This depends on the kid and youll know it when it happens. Some people reach it early, some never reach it. Most reach it around 28 or so. In the old days most were getting there at 16 or so. 1800's = 14 or so.
I reached the age of reason at 13-14. My wife, the same. As a result we both got all our partying out our system while we were under 18 which gave us an early start on life and kept us out of a criminal record. Despite us both having alcoholism and addiction in our families, neither one of us are or were ever addicted to anything. Not even cigarettes, despite both smoking from age 12/13 to age 18/20.
All the sheltered kids we knew were the ones that either became drug addicts, had problems getting their shite together in their 20's or never became responsible adults.
This is how young people work.
You forbid it.
They pursue it.
Kids are explorers. The world is interesting and new. They want to try anything and everything. Some kids more than others. Your job as a parent is to not be afraid to let them try life on and its better for them to do it under your guidance and supervision than with their idiot friends.
Take firearms for instance. Kids that grow up in the country around them, hunting with their parents and such, are much more responsible with firearms and garner a respect for them. Suburban kids whose parents have a glock in the nightstand to scare off the urban night are the ones who come home to little Billy bleeding out of both sides of himself because little Timmy wanted to play with daddys guns because daddy was irresponsible and never taught his kids how to handle a firearm and teach them to respect it.

You’re not allowed in much of Louisiana either. I know what you’re saying with parents buying alcohol for underage kids, but they usually have to do it with the kid not present. Maybe I just live in a non trashy part of LA.

For everyone saying 21 because it's the law are wrong. The law says 21 to buy, 18 and older can drink with an adult (not just parents) on private property.

Exactly what i was thinking lol. Which is why I was confused about the whole parents buying for kids. I’ve never seen it allowed.

Europe is not trashy and people who think this are obviously dumbasses. There is a different culture and stigma around alcohol over there. It's used more as a compliment to a meal, or a digestive aid. Kids in Europe aren't taught by pop culture from a young age that alcohol is supposed to be abused like it is in the states (unless they catch American programming). You don't see TV shows in European culture glorifying teens or young adults abusing alcohol and getting wasted. Now I love my country 
and wouldn't want to live anywhere else but I swear some people are just freaking stupid when it comes to other cultures.

same as driving, 16 is old enough to drive or drink while under basic supervision

A minor taste of wine during a holiday dinner when they were 19 or 20, but no drink of their own until they were 21. We were not naive enought to think they didn't drink outside the home once in a while, but we stress morals, ethics and abiding by the law and practice what we preach.

yes with us during holidays starting summer before senior year in high school
