actually red wine is good for your heart. and a beer has less artificial flavourings and sugar than a can of coke. its only unhealthy if its drunk in excess, a bottle a day does no harm whatsoever, even to a 14yr old. just look at the mediterranean (sp) area, ppl start drinking from a very young age, but because they do they are a LOT less likely to binge drink as an adult, and look how long the average life expectancy is there...Originally posted by: dazzz
drinking at 14 is just unhealthy nand stupid even it's just for the taste. even if i lived in a country that allows drinking at birth, i still wouldn't let my kids drink till about 17/18.
if youre going to stop ur kids doing something, stop them from smoking.
