After age 15, a glass of wine was a part of my son's dinner too. Because it was no big deal, my son never felt the need to go out and drink to excess.

Zero tolerance doesn't work. A more reasoned approach makes sense to keep all of us safe.

I read with displeasure about the prosecution of the family that allowed alcohol to be consumed by minors while strict controls were imposed so that the minors would not drive while intoxicated.

I've always thought that it would make sense to reverse the driving and drinking ages so that by the time young people learn to drive, they already know how to control their consumption of alcohol.

One would think that Mothers Against Drunk Driving, an organization devoted to preventing drinking and driving, would see that it is more important to use all methods, however unorthodox, to accomplish that goal.
