Ok, here's the deal. I'm 15 years old and i have mixed feelings about drinking (as in alcohol). I'm a christian and so i've been taught that drinking is wrong. but nowhere in the bible does it say that. it just says not to get drunk. either way it's still illegal for me to drink because i'm underage. my parents drink a little bit. you know a glass of wine occasionally when they get home from work, or a beer with grandpa and the uncles over thanksgiving weekend. sometimes when my family is with my grandparents and we have a toast or something on special occasions, they pour me and my brother(17) and sister (19) a glass of champaigne or wine too. i don't prefer the taste, but i drink a little bit anyway. the adults (my parents and grandparents) told us that as long as we were with them drinking a little wine we were okay, but to never do it anywhere where they aren't around (i haven't and i never will). but is it still okay when i'm with them. is it still a sin or "illegal". please help!

It is illegal for a minor to drink alcohol. If adults are giving you alcohol then they are doing something illegal too - providing alcohol to a minor.
If this is causing you to feel guilty as if you've sinned, then don't do it. I say, if in doubt, do without!

well, technically it is... But, if you are in complete control of yourself and still only have that sip you should be fine. If you really don't feel comfortable, don't drink it.
