Re: What should parents tell their children about alcohol? I was allowed sips of wine on special occasions like Christmas when I was quite young. Contrary to popular belief, I have not turned into a drunken lout on the brink of liver failure. In fact, I rarely drink at all. My husband drinks a couple of nights a week and our girls know it is "Daddy's fizzy", which they are not allowed to help themselves to. Hiding it like some forbidden juice of the gods is only going to fuel their interest in it when they are older.

My parents allowed me to have wine every now and then. I think parents should be truthful, telling us about the effects, consequences and everythng concerning alcohol, shouldn't just say its harmful and sweep the issue under the carpet.
