this chick was talking about kids who start drinking alcohol at age 13 blah blah blah...she's not talking about a kid like yours that lives in a healthy environment where the dad says, hey son drink all you want here at home blah blah...i'm talking about troubled kids...another words, that it is a symptom a kid could be heading for trouble if you find them drinking on a consistent basis at such a young age...
plus there is scientific evidence of what alcohol use does physically to a brain that's still developing during their teens. i'm just saying i would have taken it a lot more seriously than i did then. glad it's over, been there, checked that box. when mine now come over (in their late 20's/early 30's) for dinners/cook outs/whatever, the first thing my husband and i do is offer them a beer or a glass of wine...none of them seem to have any alcohol issues, hopefully we may have dodged a bullet.
