It happens to be against the law to provide alcohol to a minor.

Absolutely wrong! There is a reason the legal drinking age is 21.
The child also has a risk of becoming an alcoholic. You also did not say if this was your child. If it is not you can get yourself in a lot of trouble.

The minimum age for the acquisition of alcohol is eighteen. human beings elderly 13295c76acbf4caaed33c36b1b5fc2cb1 or 17 might consume wine, beer or cider on authorized premises (pubs/bars/eating places) with a table meal. In England and Wales, it would desire to be an grownup who orders,[3295c76acbf4caaed33c36b1b5fc2cb13295c76acbf4caaed33c36b1b5fc2cb1] regardless of if an grownup would not ought to be recent to order alcohol with a meal in Scotland. The legal age for the acquisition of alcohol from an off-licence (shop/food market) is eighteen. (The legal age to purchase liqueur goodies is 13295c76acbf4caaed33c36b1b5fc2cb1. yet that's never enforced.)

yes, it's illegal and teaches the child that laws don't matter. if the child were to leave and drive somewhere after a beer and be in an accident you could be charged with manslaughter if someone were killed. i worked as a cashier for years and our worst problem is underage kids trying to buy or steal beer. if you think they'll only do it at home you're dead wrong.its also immoral!

difficult one....Where i come from, the legal age is 18 for alcohol, so having one beer at the house wasn't really a big deal. Depends whether you are a stickler for the rules or not, whether s/he will be driving later as alcohol on the breath of an underage driver is an automatic DUI and suspension. I guess its up to the parents.....?

This is not advise but, but my opinion.
I feel it'd be better for them to have it and know what it is like in your preseance than to run off and do it behind your back. Be sure to teach the danngers and responsibilities that come along with drinking alcohol as well. You are the parent here make the right choices for your kids.

In my opinion, no. In fact, where I live that isn't even illegal. Parents are allowed to serve alcohol to their own children if the alcohol is consumed on the parents' own property. Serving to other people's children, or giving them alcohol to drink elsewhere, is illegal. Drinking with your family is one of the best ways to learn about drinking in moderation and appreciating alcohol for the taste, not for it's mind-altering properties. Having lived in both Europe and North America, and seen their very different attitudes towards alcohol, I can safely say that drinking responsibly as a family is one of the best ways to decrease alcohol abuse in teenagers.

I think that if a responsible adult gives a responsible amount of alcohol to a responsible minor in a responsible manner than it is okay.
Key word is responsible.

No, not at all. It shows them that they think you can trust you, and one beer is not going to do anything. As long as they know how to be responsible with alcohol, and they are with you it is fine.

I do think it's wrong. There is a legal drinking age and parents have a responsibility to show their kids that we can't pick and choose which laws we want to obey.
