I think I'd still rather chance slight irreversible damage, and teach them how to drink responsibly, then have them turn out like my brother-in-law, who would embarrass a fish with the amount he drinks EVERY NIGHT. Yes, I know that's an extreme case, but being that my husband's biological father died of alcoholism, I think it's important to teach my kids responsibility when it comes to alcohol. My husband, knowing that his father (and now, apparently, his brother) was an alcoholic, is VERY careful about how much he drinks and how often.
