I totally disagree. If your parents allowed you to drink supervised at 14, the novelty would probably have worn off pretty quick. The problem comes when it's taboo and you sneak around to drink because it's cool. That's when kids plan their week at school around binge drinking on the weekend.
(note-I think 14 IS too young for supervised drinking, but I'd allow it at 16 and TRY to dissuade my kids until then)
An interesting read that I agree with...
