Drinking Education

The real question for me is should I let her try some mixed drinks at home with me, so she has some practical experience as well? That's the part I can't make my mind up about.

Well, talking should be enough for any sensible person and you don't give the impression of your daughter not being sensible. I wouldn't do it the teaching way but the be careful way.

My father talked to me about that, especially once I got my driving license and I didn't drink when I was driving. I got drunk at parties though and I think it's the natural thing to do for anyone spreading their wings. Nothing to be worried about unless it happens every day and not once a week or a month or so.

An entirely different thing to talk about might be her being made drunk for some stupid guys to take advantage. That might be worthy of some real talk about choosing company wisely.
