Quote From: covergaardI was shocked to discover that you even can make a show like this.
In my country all children are introduced to alcohol in relationship with their confirmation. It has been so for more than 200 years. We see only one danger with alcohol and that is drinking and driving. By allowing the youth to drink openly we also can spot those that drinks more than 11 liters of pure alcohol per year with is the norm for normal behavior and a limit where the health is not hurt by the amount consumed.
Drug are also less seen because on most countries it is the same people who deliver both illegal alcohol and drugs til the children. By having the parents supplying the children, they are not so easily introduced to such criminal circles.
When a youth turns 16 they are often given an ID-card which enables them to purchase all kind of alcohol in shop. It is only the nightlife that is off-limit. This is done so the youth stay in an environment where there are sober adult supervision.
Needless to say: We have less violence, less number of people in jail, less teenage pregnancies and of course lower number of people killed in DUI-related accidents.

I really dont get why you consider the behavior of this mom a problem.
What Country are you from where this is legal? I just don't believe or agree with anything you have to say. Drinking and drugs are bad no matter how old you are or what Country you're from. A parent that let's their underage child(ren) or their friend's drink, should be jailed.
