I am all for teaching our children how to responsibly consume alcohol. It is an effective argument for lowering the drinking age to 18 or 19. In Virginia, we can’t use the current drinking age as an excuse since we can serve alcohol to our children at home.
Here’s the cite; Code of Virginia § 4.1-200.7
“7. Any person who keeps and possesses lawfully acquired alcoholic beverages in his residence for his personal use or that of his family. However, such alcoholic beverages may be served or given to guests in such residence by such person, his family or servants when (i) such guests are 21 years of age or older or are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse who is 21 years of age or older and (ii) such service or gift is in no way a shift or device to evade the provisions of this title.”
