My father was very strict on me and what I could and couldn't do, but he allowed me to try his drinks when he was drinking.
After my Dad left, drinking in my house really wasn't a huge deal or taboo. I am 21 now and I drink rarely and am a very responsible drinker (I always have a designated driver) so I think your sister is right and you should just mind to your own kids.
Like many of the above posters have said, it removes the taboo and makes it less hush hush so she won't end up like my friends that were never allowed to touch the stuff did their first time: curious and being strung along by some asshole who did not have their best interests at heart because they were dying to try the stuff and ending up in a bad situation because they didn't know anything about alcohol other than "it's bad" and they were too afraid to call their parents.
IIN for my sister to let her 16 year old daughter drink alcohol?
