According to a study by Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, almost 50% of ten-year-old kids have tasted alcohol. Parents, however, are usually unaware of the adolescent sauce-hitting. Only six percent of kids have guzzled an entire beverage.
"I've wasted my entire life,' said a drunk ten-year-old. He then crashed his Big Wheel into a light pole.
The purpose of the study is to find links between alcoholism and initial experimentation with alcohol. It is not just for laughs or because some scientists were bored and had to look busy.
In families where the parents partook in Bacchanalian revelries, their children were more likely to have sipped booze, but a majority of the children tasted the alcohol at a church (transubstantiation may negate) or social function. This proves that society is unsafe for children. Hide them in a cave. Surface dwellers are not to be trusted.
This is the moral of the story:
If your kid tastes alcohol, he/she will probably be all right. Parents who like to drink need to give their children a stern talking-to about the dangers of alcohol.
The entire family could have a discussion about alcohol at their family therapist's office. It will be fun! I have now tied this story back to a type of doctor. Click here for more doctors.
