Thankfully I was a child of the 60's so as difficult as I was my

parents could not put me on psych drugs.

Grateful for the freedom to choose...Facing my demons un-medicated...

Same here (although a decade earlier!) - and I do enjoy a beer now and then.

Most parents where I grew up were not averse to giving kids a sip of beer now

and then (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!).

When my wife was a pharmacy tech, she was appalled at the number of

prescriptions for kids (Ritalin, Atteral, Strattera, etc.). I have no practical

experience, but it appears to be easier to medicate than deal with them. My

apologies if I've offended (again, I have no experience).

Arne,

You certainly have not offended me...cant speak for those with kids

in our group...or others.

I was given shot glasses of beer when I was a kid, at times

(Christmas, Thanksgiving etc..), I come from a family of brewers

though, it was also common in Polish German families. The Japanese

give their kids sweet sake (has a lot of rice debris in it which make

it cloudy). Usually when they are tearing around the house before bed

if they dont settle down.

I dont have any problems with adults on any meds (I just cant

tolerate some medications, they make me psychotic). I would not turn

down a trial of Enbrel or Remicade if the VA offered it to me.

Rambling here...
