Can serious drinking be part of one's cultural heritage?
Serious drinking can be a part of one’s cultural
heritage. Being Italian I grew up around
my family almost always having a glass of wine with dinner, and it was not unusual
for me to be offered to have a sip. There
are some effects to being around alcohol at a young age but I think it depends
on the household and the level of severity to the drinking being done. If you're parents are drinking very large
amounts of alcohol a child may grow up to think that’s normal, like in the story
“Drinking with Daddy” but if you are raised around casual drinking I think that
a child will grow up to learn how to responsibly drink alcohol and not abuse
it.
