In the LA Times, Today, I read about an ongoing argument about letting teenagers have one glass of an alcoholic beverage at family events. There was a study done in 2004 and it found that parents who let there teen have a drink with them were less then half as likely to binge drink as the parents who did not let there teen have a drink. In that same study 20 to 25 percent of parents let there teens gateher and drink in there home, becasue they thought it would be safe if they drank under supervision.
I think this could be a bad thing because it would make the teen more comforatable drinking alcohol and they would think its ok to do it more often.
