    A hangover at age 10months, is just atrocious! I am unsure of how you remember it though Ryn, but I'd put that down as child abuse!
    Legally allowing a 5yr old to drink alcohol is beyond comprehension!?


    - I don't agree with "Mummy can have this but you mustn't touch it." You have to lead by example and I intend to teach responsible drinking. That way he's tried alcohol before it's an issue and he may not like it. I won't get in the alcopops or larger, it will be "proper" stuff only (wine or a decent bitter - not spirits!).
    Perhaps it would be better to not drink alcohol than to give him some at such a young age, I'm not sure watering down alcohol for a 10yr old would be teaching him "responsible drinking"?


    I do enjoy a glass of Scotch & coke & also a beer, but it's like many many things in life... Adults can do it, but kids cant...

    These rules/laws are in place to protect kids...

    got a 19m th old bubba on my lap now so that will do...
