Teenager‘s experiment with alcohol. In many countries and societies, that’s just a fact. And so many parents of teenagers may think that it’s a good idea to teach their kids to drink responsibly by having a few drinks with them. But according to at least one study, drinking with teens is not a good idea. In fact, it’s a very bad idea. The study argues that kids who are allowed to drink under adult supervision are more likely to develop drinking problems than kids whose parents have a hard and fast policy on their not drinking until they turn twenty-one. Now, this might strike you as strange and even unlikely. Will allowing your teenage kids to have a beer or two or a glass of wine with dinner really turn them into alcoholics？ No, not in such absolute terms.

【參考譯文】
在許多國(guó)家和社會(huì)，青少年喝酒已經(jīng)是一個(gè)不辨的事實(shí)。許多青少年的父母也許認(rèn)為和孩子們一起喝酒并教教孩子們有鑒別力地去喝酒是個(gè)很好的注意。但是根據(jù)最新的一項(xiàng)研究表明，和青少年一起喝酒并不是一個(gè)好注意。事實(shí)上，那是個(gè)很糟糕的主意。研究說(shuō)被允許在成年人的監(jiān)護(hù)下喝酒的青少年比直到年滿21歲才被允許喝酒的青少年更可能形成許多酗酒問(wèn)題。這可能讓你感到很奇怪并感到不可能。吃飯時(shí)允許你的孩子喝一兩杯啤酒或是一杯白酒真的讓使他們成為酒鬼嗎？不是的，不能一概而論。
