Drinking As A Kid
Let their kids drink at meals once they turned 13. Having a glass of wine or cocktail with our meal was normal in our house—nothing over-indulgent. Everyone 13 or older just had one.
I found it wasn’t normal when a friend had a birthday meal at the local steakhouse and was able to invite a few of us. So it was me, the birthday boy’s parents and grandparents, and another friend. I ordered my steak and then asked for a glass of cabernet to come with the meal. You would have thought I pulled a gun on the waitress.
