TBH, I think that giving children alcohol is just another stupid, government-endorsed idea that will end up making society worse. Remember they thought 24hr licensing would curb binge drinking? Pah!
I'm not annoyed that people have a different view to me I am annoyed that you seem to be accusing me of hurting my son in some way just because I would let him try alcohol at the age of 5 if he asked. I used to come on this forum for support and advice and all I seem to be getting is abuse for having a view that not everyone agrees with.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I think you'll be hard-pushed to find support for giving 5 year olds alcohol.

i would not give me 5year old alcohol but if a day came and he asked he could have some very diluted. By the age of 12 i was getting drunk loads so depending on your area and who your children make friends with teaching at 12/13 might be to late, as someone said before there are 8 year olds getting drunk ect and even in alcohol rehab.I remember the more i was told i could not drink the more i wanted to drink because it seemed like something for adults and something that was secretly great

I'm not abusing you, I'm trying to tell you that what you plan to do can have a detrimental affect on health. 5 year old bodies, and kidneys cannot physically break down alcohol. It stays in their bloodstream for longer, and they can get ill. They also will not understand the consequences of their actions. To me, the risks outweigh any benefits. There are other ways to educate your children without introducing them to it.
As I said, it's your decision but you can't expect everyone to share the same view, then get annoyed when they don't and try to explain to you why they don't.

I find it very offensive that you make out I am mistreating my child by allowing them to have alcohol should they want to try it at age 5. I don't think a small amount in with some orange juice or lemonade will have a detrimental effect on his health. I'm sure I read once that you don't judge people without knowing them, maybe you should put that into practice before saying it in future

This might be a stupid thing to think but... if you're going to dilute it with orange juice or lemonade then why give it at all?? Can you not just give orange juice or lemonade?
Im not abusing you its purely a question
We allow 5 year olds to have chocolate don't we? Isn't that also something unnecessary that can be over done? Most people think giving foods in moderation, and teaching healthy eating from a young age is good. Why is it different for alcohol?
