Ahhh DS, that's not a friend. And in all seriousness, drinking when supervised at home, if it were a drink with supper, it wouldn't help in a party situation without parental supervision. I was allowed to sip alcohol from an early age, I still went out and got hammered at the first opportunity.
I was brought up drinking and guess what - drunken teen here too. Lack of alcohol at home doesn't make a drunken teen.
And it doesn't matter if I choose to (legally) allow my child alcohol in my home or not - if you don't for whatever reason then respect to you. Just as I would expect you to respect my decision. And if my DS got drunk at a party he'd be told off, just as yours would. Drinking a wine with dinner isn't the same as getting drunk and shouldn't ever be considered the same.
