Not if it is a sensible amount. Alcohol can be beneficial too.

Nope. I believe that giving children small amounts of alcohol to taste is a good thing. One of the reasons that older teens and other young people have out of control drinking problems is the status of alcohol in our society. Alcohol is seen as a taboo. It's BAD, and you CAN'T HAVE IT UNTIL YOU'RE 21!!! THAT'S FINAL!!! This kind of attitude leads to alcohol becoming something 'cool' and 'forbidden'. My parents gave me alcohol to try as a young child, and it became something regular and boring, and it didn't taste that good at all. Now, I can drink, but I don't. I might have the occasional glass of wine with dinner, but that's it. I don't go out and get drunk.
