Of course you know I agree with you wholeheartedly on this issue. I didn't spend much time in pubs growing up but still had the experience of being exposed to drinking in moderation. I was always allowed to sip beer and even drink wine mixed with 7-up on Sundays (my great uncle's homemade strawberry wine). I never drank in high school because it wasn't a big deal to me. I snuck into bars, yes, but didn't drink there. I find it strange that people may think I'm immoral because my daughter went to her first beer tasting at 10 days old. Whatever. She's been to more brew fests than I can count now and loves going because it means hanging out with her favorite aunties and uncles. Beer was one of her first 50 words. She also knows that beer is for adults or as she says "mommies and daddies and aunts and uncles." I'm gonna miss having her at the OBF this summer. Fight the power!!
