<p>H offers wine to son who is 20 whenever we have wine with dinner. He doesn’t offer him Scotch, however! That’s a rite of passage for when he is 21.</p>
<p>That’s a good point mommusic, we were never offered (or thought to ask) for any sort of liquor before we turned 21. Wine, and maybe the occasionally beer, with dinner was the extent of our parental supervised underage drinking.</p>
<p>*Depends on the state, but in many cases it’s perfectly legal to serve ones children alcohol in your own home.</p>
<p>In those cases, I don’t see a problem with a bit of wine with dinner*</p>
<p>It is legal in our state-however, I did not.
My husband is in recovery & while I cook with liquor occasionally and may have a glass with dinner at home or at a restaurant, I just didn’t feel comfortable offering it to my kids- However, I have offered it once or twice but they turned it down.</p>
