well...its kinda like all the kids planning a party (w/alcohol and so forth), well being a christian, you shldn't go, but most christian kids feel the pressure to fit in, they either go to fit in or take the stand. Yes, i know all kids are pressured like that, but whats the reason you're not doing it? when you're a christian, you're looked down on alot more.
A) not all ppl who drink are drunks, that a serious generalization.
I drink everytime I go out with my mates and I'm almost never drunk (maybe 3 times in 4 years and a wild stab would be I go out atleast 40 times a year so 3 out a 160 times isn't a lot. and I never get seriously drunk)
B) It is legal in Belgium to drink beer from the age of 16, a lot of children do it and it has not been proven that it increases child-alcoholabuse. I've been drinking beer since I was 16, I don't consider myself a drunk. My children will be allowed to drink at the age of 15 (excluding any spirits or heavy liquor, for which they won't have the money anywayz)
you would want your kids to drink at that age?depends on the situation, I could let them have a glass of wine/beer in certain situation
trust me they'll drink at 16 with moderation. I don't think anyone likes his or her first beer.ehh I actually liked beer the first time I tasted it wasnt an old chap that time, and 16 years old cant moderate their drinking unless they are supervised. We drank to get shitfaced, and whenever I go out now I still drink to get shitfaced. With the price rate we have on alcoholic beverages here in Norway we better get our moneys worth.
But back to topic, actually didnt jesus make wine out of water as his first miracle so whats all the fuss about.

I've moderated my drinking at 16. proves 16 year olds can do it, there are however enough 16 year olds who can't

We were talking about kids drinking, NOT supervised either. So, if they asked you if they could you would let them attend the party?
The topic was: it taking courage to say, no, take the stand as a christian.
