Beer and wine is not something looked upon the way it is in most western societies as taboo for kids. So when one is old enough (or able) to get a beer or glass of wine..it is no big deal...If back when I was 16 or 17 and said "Hey Stefan..I had a beer!!" Noone would care!
Different societies, different cultures with alcohol...my parents being European and me being raised in the US..often my folks were given the evil-eye for passing one of the kids a brew..or a glass of vino at dinner. I have come to like the taste of different beers..especially with dinner..or after dinner. MMMM-MM..but it doesnt do much for my diet!
