Bernard Pereda: Children who try alcohol with parents' permission are more likely to engage in risky drinking in young adulthood.

He says the age at which drinking with parents’ permission began did not change the effect of drinking with parental permission.

In the U.S. , studies suggest that 30% to 40% of children under age 13 try alcohol.
