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.

You should keep your opinions to yourself about drinking. Maybe you were "tipsy" when you wrote your comment. But you should at least use correct grammar when trying to make a point.

The debate is not whether or not to follow the law, but whether or not to change it. Of course parents want to obey the law and show a good example, but there's no sense in criminalizing something so insignifigant as giving a kid a sip of wine. So quit saying that the only reason people shouldn't give kids alcohol is because parents should obey the law. If the law were changed to allow this, they WOULD be obeying it.

I think a child should be able to drink in their own house if there parents condone it, its none of the governments business what goes on in someones house, however, drinking is legal if you are of age and if you are underage around people of age in your own home, you should be able to drink if your parents want you to.
