Is it legal to allow minors to drink alcohol at home under adult supervision?
In Canada, a minor is permitted to consume alcohol in their home, generally under the supervision of their parents or guardian. Each province is different, so the rules vary a bit. If a parent wants to teach their children how to drink socially and responsibly, before they hit legal age at 18 or 19 and go binge drinking with their friends every weekend, it is their choice and, probably, their responsibility if they chose to have alcohol in the home. Binge drinking is a problem and stems from people failing to learn how to drink responsibly and reasonably. The higher the age of majority, the higher the incidence of binging.
