Should you toast with your teens at HOME?

It is a reoccurring dilemma! Should we let our teens have a sip of wine at dinner?
Will this prevent the ultimate secret binge with their friends over the weekend? How can we teach them about moderation and the downside of getting wasted? Personally, I feel that meal time in the family should be sacred and a time for everyone to share and catch up. If parents are having a glass of wine with dinner
and they offer their teenager a sip, I believe that it represents a sense of trust and it opens up a dialogue for being responsible with Alcohol and other mood altering substances. This kind of communication can begin to close the ever widening chasm between you and your child. SO…SALUT to you!
