Question: Is it legal to drink in your own home if your parents condone it?
Answer: It is not legal for your parents to give it to you. As with most things, if you behave sensibly, no one will know. Many people think that no child should ever be given liquor. Many people think that children should be taught to drink at home. The law hesitates to invade a home and to tell people how to raise their children. However, when things go to beans, there can be all sorts of trouble from things which would not ordinarily give trouble. For example, a father gives a sip of beer to his children occasionally. The mother files for divorce, and tells the court and the local child protective authority about this in order to get custody of the children or to 'get even' with the Father.

I think that if the parents give consent it is okay and that other people should mind their own business and like it has already been said, if you don't show it or say anything noone will know!

I don't think anyone should drink. It ruins your body. Why would anyone want to do it?

I think drinking should be aloud to teen agers that are ready to start drinking. If your parents allow you to then so be it.
I really think that beer and wine companys would be happy to see their sales go up
