My best friend's mom once gave her half a beer in her baby bottle on a road trip in the 70's to help her sleep. She is actually a very good mother and was just a dumb kid not realizing what the effects could have been. I think it used to be common to give kids whiskey for coughs back in the olden days as well. I, too, had a sip or two of Daddy's beer occassionally. I think this is a common practice. It probably isn't the best idea but it seems harmless. I think psychologically these acts might make drinking seem like a fine thing to do from a young age. But, in my opinion, it is a fine thing to do as long as you don't abuse it.
