I so agree with this. I was raised by both my parents from about
the age of 14 to drink responsibily. They knew that I was going
to drink whether they at home or not. Better to learn how to
hold your liquor at home than out in the middle of a field
somewhere (then you've got somewhere decent to yak when you
overdo it.)

This whole business of drinking age of 21 and blue laws are
all just holdovers from our Puritan forefathers here in the US.
