First of all, why did you have to use such complicated terms for answers? I really didn't know what to make of it. Could be because English is not my mother tongue (actually I'm Dutch), but I just don't understand what option stands for what.
My parents didn't make a big deal out of alcohol. Their opinion was that on special occasions like parties or holidays it was OK to drink. So did they and so did I. Just a few glasses, never too much.
Later on as I became a more rebelious teen I started to drink more and more often. When I was 14 I went on holiday with some friends and without my parents and I was drunk just about the whole week. But I survived and now I intend to drink a bit less.
I don't blame my parents for anything, they teached me in the right way. That holiday I would have been drunk anyway, can't blame it on them. We all got to go through our teenage years and those include learning to deal with alcohol, wich is done by making mistakes. Parents should allow their children to make those mistakes, otherwise they never learn.
Thanks, I appreciate your comment as I'm pretty curious about the views and experience of everyone.
The poll choices are completely irrelevant, I thought it might encourage more focus on the comment section. In hindsight, maybe a yes/no story would have been better.
I chose those option words because they sound nice.
