Should Parents Let Kids Drink At Home?

摘要

When It comes to underage drinking, there's no consensus on whether less is more. In the U.S., legal and cultural policies adhere to a zero-tolerance strategy, on the assumption that allowing teenagers to drink alcohol-even small amounts under adult supervision-might promote problem drinking later on. But In other parts of the world, like Australia, teens are permitted to drink in the presence of adults, on the theory that supervised consumption will encourage more responsible behavior in the future.
