LOL!
Yes, encouraging experimentation with alcohol at an early age is why there are so few alcoholics in Germany and Austria!
Surely you also gave them several cartons of smokes on their 15th birthday? Just to familiarize themselves with them?
That ranks up right up there with Lindy's bag full of prophylactics. Except that makes more sense and is less harmful.
Sorry...I've lost too many friends to alcoholism, they all started drinking as kids and by the time their brains had a few cells - they were already being destroyed, because they were hooked. By the time they were twenty they couldn't last five minutes without a smoke in one hand and a drink in the other. It became a convenient and addictive escape mechanism.
