    This sounds puritanical.
    Because it is.

    Welcome to CI. You'll find there are a lot of puritans here and in other places where online trads gather.

    Mind altering substances should be avoided as long as possible until the brain is fully developed (25 years for boys and around 20 for girls)

    Until you've lived long enough to have seen the disastrous affects of alcohol, which can take years to manifest, you don't really understand how dangerous they can be.

    The rare drink at home might be OK for a very special reason but I wouldn't encourage it as you never know which child will end up becoming addicted.

    Our family and relatives were European so there was alcohol in the house.  If were had a cold we were given a teaspoon of whiskey. or a tablespoon of wine for a bad stomach ache.  This never had any mind altering affect.  HOWEVER... when my brother was in his 20's he thought he could handle liquor as it never had an affect on him, well we watched him go from a kind considerate good provider to a belligerent degenerate who we buried at 57 years old.

    When you watch families fall apart and watch a mother die a year later from a broken heart...it's not something you ever want to go through.

    When you see the number of teens killed in car accidents because of alcohol and the drunk drivers who kill others I don't think the government in this instance is trying to be controlling but are actually doing their job by restricting the sale and consumption  of all mind altering substances to adults.

    Sorry to hear about your brother, but it seems to me that he was probably predisposed to be addicted regardless of how he was reared. I’ve always been of the opinion that when alcohol is presented to a child as a taboo, they tend to gravitate toward that taboo when they get older and aren’t under their parents watchful eyes anymore.

    This sounds puritanical. My father used to give us wine at dinner time as did his father to him.

    BTW: What even is underage? When I was growing up the drinking age was 18, now it’s 21. So if they change it to 25, is that ok with you?

    The government isn’t even competent in balancing a checkbook, who gives it the right to decide when *your* child is old enough to drink?
    (Sounds puritanical?  Alcohol and drugs have been used by priests to rape children….).  Look at the present state of the Catholic Church.  Calling Christians puritanical is just an atheist communist tactic to water down Christianity. 

     The pope a former bouncer bar fly worships a wooden naked statue of earth goddess.  He thinks traditional Catholics are rigid puritans.  

    the government shouldn’t have anything to do with parenting at all.  God needs to be restored.

    I knew a family who allowed their 5 children to drink alcohol while underage and children became alcoholics, druggies and sodomites. ( Most wine and beer now has nitrates and added corn syrup which causes cancer. )  Grapes are heavily sprayed. 

    The other day, I noticed a grand parent feeding their three year old little girl Gatorade and juice boxes that use corn syrup.  Gross.



    The best drink to drink is water.  It is the straight from God.

    So are fruit juices, coffee, tea, milk, beer, and wine.

    • I generally follow the advice I heard a dear old Priest give from the pulpit:"Go ahead and enjoy a drink. A drink, as in one. If you have trouble stopping after one, then have none."

    That’s borderline blasphemous. The Catholic is NOT, never was, and never will be a “joke”. What you mistakenly assume to be the Church is a joke and a disgusting imposter.

    For an alcoholic, one is too many and a hundred is not enough.

    • Does the law actually apply if it's alcohol from the parents/family? I was under the impression it did not, but I could be mistaken.

    What's funny is that you seem to think drinking "underage" (meaning under an arbitrary age set by a godless socialistic government) makes people gαy.

    Then you tell people to drink water instead.

    Well, according to Alex Jones you have it backwards. It's water that makes people gαy, or at least it makes frogs gαy. :laugh1:

    • I voted yes. Lowering the drinking age would be a bad idea. 18 year olds are idiots. They all have the collective id of a cokehead and no way to turn it off; letting them legally drink would be disastrous.
