I sipped my dads beer when I was a kid. He also let me steer the car sitting on his lap through the neighborhood. Nothing wrong with letting kids be kids and explore a little with supervision.
I’m a goy, but I understand that many Jews give their kids a sip of Seder wine starting when they’re five or so, and then a little more each year after that. That may or may not have anything to do with the fact that Jews have a lower rate of alcoholism than most Gentiles.
My parents smoked, then quit, and I never felt moved to take up the habit. When washing windows at my grandmother’s house (she still smoked) and seeing the brown stuff coming off on the cleaning cloth, I was REALLY glad I hadn’t started smoking. (Ewww, that crud winds up in your lungs!)
At 13 I pooled my money with some kids in my class and we bought a pack of cigarettes. I smoked part of one and called it quits, gave the rest of the pack to the other kids. Later one of them decided it would be fun to get me in trouble with NM, who has been known to terrify the neighborhood while screeching at moi. A boy came to our door and told NM that I owed him smokes figuring I’d deny it and give myself away, that I helped to buy a pack and gave them the rest. I didn’t fall for it. Miraculously, NM listened to my reason, that she was taking the word of someone she didn’t know over her own daughter.. as she had done countless times before but this one time I had my wits about me
I remember the first time my grandma let me take a sip of her coffee. I thought she was crazy to drink that stuff. Now that I’m older, I’ve certainly joined the crazy club!
My dad was feeding me beer when I was 2. The older I get, the less I drink, but I can count on one hand the number of times I drank excessively. I’ve never had a hangover, either.

While Miles and Kevin are at Chainsaw Cabin, at home there might be a playing of Die Die my Darling.

This might get graphic before the kids even get to see the movie!

My sister and I would finish leftover wine in glasses when we were growing up! LOL
Kids in Europe drink wine all the time.

Donna, a little horror and emotional scarring never hurt anyone. It builds character and it’ll a good learning experience for Miles.

Is it just me, or does Dad bear an uncanny resemblance to Homer Simpson?

We let our kids everytime they ask for a taste. They still don’t like it.
