[q=Dr Unne]The best thing is to teach kids not to touch alcohol period, and make sure they don't. There is no such thing as "healthy" introduction to something unhealthy. "Healthy introduction" may not be teaching people to do it per se, but it IS teaching them that it's acceptable to do it. I don't believe in accepting that a child is going to do something harmful and just letting it go on and trying to minimize the damage. That's bad parenting.[/q]
I don't think anyone will argue that drinking alcohol is a healthy habit, but virtually everyone will be offered a drink in their lifetime, because drinking is a part of how our society socializes. Not necessarily a good part, but it's there. Occasionally drinking alcohol is not harmful. That's why I agree with Blanco Meow -- we shouldn't be giving kids shots of vodka so they'll know what it's like, but I think we should teach them how to deal with situations in which they are offered alcohol. Telling them that they should never, ever touch it will only make them curious.

As for the breast, I don't see what the big deal is. It's no secret that women have them, and it wasn't even the only sexual image shown during the Super Bowl. What about all those scantily-clad cheerleaders shown directly before and after commercial breaks to suck people in? Some of the commercials were pretty racy, too.

The worst part is that America fears sexuality, but is generally indifferent to violence. I think there is something seriously wrong with a society that pays more attention to Janet Jackson's breasts than the war that we're currently involved in.
