    I remember the gasthaus in Germany, if a kid could put his pfenning on the bar he could have beer.

    I don't know that there are any laws restricting a parent from allowing their kid a glass of beer or wine (in the home, i.e.. I'm pretty certain that most restaurant managers would plotz if you tried to give your kid anything like that in his (or her) dining room, though).

    I've always thought the drinking age for beer/wine should be 14, and the legal age for getting a driver's license should be 18. People seem to either agree with me or else think that every teen-ager will become an alcoholic. Not much middle ground on that one. But the facts support me on this, considering the percentage of teen-age kids who drink, and the accident rate for sober teen drivers.

    Sorry, I didn't intend to start a fight... But it is well-documented in the literature (eg Gormless, J. and Twittery, O., 2009) that in controlled trials of vegemite on toast, North Americans are 56.8 times more likely to over-use Vegemite than Australians, on average.

    I graduated high school in 1977, the woman who is now my mother in law hosted a party for her son, a fellow classmate, 300+ kids with free beer, partying all nite, no one hurt, no fights, just a lot of fun. It was so successful the school administrators asked her if she would host another one the following year. My, how things have changed.
