So your kid is 'smart' enough to understand that something that's given to them in moderation doesn't need to be abused (or that moderation is better), even when genetic predisposition works pretty hard to overcome this ability to be moderate, but not smart enough to understand the dangers of hereditary alcoholism and the way to avoid the problems?
