The recent holiday season had me observing a lot of my friends and family members consuming a fair bit of alcohol. Have to admit, I consumed a fair bit myself. My concern was seeing children around the age of 12 to 15 drinking wine during family dinners. It prompted me to ask them and their parents whether they know how much their children are drinking and what is the limit their young bodies can take. In two occassions, the parents tell me they don't know and leave it to their children to decide and the children tell me that they will stop after 2 or 3 glasses. That's sounds like a lot to me for children who should not be drinking at all. Well, for me, luckily I like food more than alcohol. So, I normally stop drinking after 2 or 3 glasses for reasons (a) I should feel a bit high by then (b) any more drinking will mean I won't have room for food! If I am at a formal event, I'll take 1 glass (after food) as I want to ensure I don't make a fool out of myself.
