Is it considered normal for parents to encourage kids to drink at a young age in the DR?
I ask the question because a friend of mine posted pictures of his sons birthday party on facebook. The family were all together at a colmado. The father, mother, son and daughter. It was the sons 12th birthday. His father had a large bottle of Presidente and was sharing it with his son. The mother was drinking in the pictures too.
Is this like a coming of age thing for young kids in the campos?
