Another potentially controversial subject and for the record, I have never even tasted alcohol but I saw an article on this today and thought I should ask you guys.
Some kids never even have tasted alcohol before going off to college.. and as we all know, the taste of alcohol is such that some people find it strong and unbearable if they're not used to it. Some people, also cannot hold their alcohol as well as others can.. and for someone who has never drank alcohol, they don't know their limits.
In college many kids will be faced with situations where according to them and/or their peers, it will make them look uncool and like a complete prude if they refuse to drink at all. Some can handle peer pressure well, some cannot. But I can imagine it's very embarrassing to have your first drink at a college party and spit it out or cringe because you can't even swallow it let alone actually finish one drink..
But so as to make these types of situations less awkward, should a parent allow their child to somewhat explore these areas i.e. taste different types of alcohol and figure out their limits, so as to learn HOW to drink responsibly should they choose to, and so they can handle alcohol and its tastes and effects?
