parents and Alcohol and Smoking

<p>“Ice cream and beer!” </p>

<p>Whoa!</p>

<p>Please realize that my “squeaky clean-ness” was my OWN form of rebellion!!! I was told SO many times by EVERYONE, my friends, my older sister, EVERYONE, that I would eventually cave and do this stuff. I am just stubborn enough to resist for the simple sake of resisting and not for any particular philosophical objection. Ironically, my baby brother vowed to beat ME out and he resisted both drugs AND alcohol…he doesn’t touch a drop, despite the fact that he’s a diplomat in the foreign service and it would serve him well socially to indulge in the occasional glass of wine! <em>lol</em> I enjoy wine and Tequiza regularly with dinner. </p>

<p>I am pleased to say that so far I have completely brainwashed my children to do the same…but NOT by telling them NOT to…just telling them that <em>I</em> didn’t <em>lol</em>. The competition is on, though I fully expect some of them NOT to enter it! :wink: Oldest son so far has taken after my brother…doesn’t touch alcohol or drugs, or at least, hasn’t yet…</p>

<p>Momof3—think Coke float, but using beer instead of Coke. (In retrospect, Coke is MUCH MUCH better for this.)</p>
