If I hear one more person say... (vent)

"My parents did it with me and I turned out fine"
or any other stupid variation, I'm going to throat punch them. 
DH especially. Just because folks did/didn't do things in the 60's, 70's, whenever, doesn't necessarily mean it's ok now. People thought it was ok to smoke while pregnant back then too, remember? We have more research & knowledge and the access to it.
This comes after a conversation with DH about how I don't want people giving DD sips of beer while not only does he not have a problem with it, he intends on doing it himself. When he was a toddler, he snuck sips from his dad's beer at a party and ended up drunk because he had about a half a can. His family thinks it's the funniest story.DH doesn't see any problem. I can definitely see an argument about this coming.

"Just as with anyone else, the child can pass out. Just like anyone else, a child can have vomiting. And also small children can drop their blood sugars. A few hours after drinking alcohol that can lead to seizures and brain damage," Lavonas said.

Police have not charged the father at this time, but there are several possible charges the father could be facing, including child abuse or child neglect.
My dad would give me sips of his beer when I was little... but that was the 80's, crazy crazy times
In all seriousness though - I would throat punch someone if they tried giving my DD's any type of alcohol, I don't even like it when people do it with my/their dogs. Not funny.
I fully intend on sitting DH down and making sure he understands that's it's not going to happen (and lord help anyone who tries), regardless of his "opinion".
My grandparents gave all the grandchildren sips of beers. DH's family was the same. I just don't get it. What is people's fascination with getting LO's to try it? It's not if they like it you can give them more (hopefully). Give them fruit or something instead.

Ugh. I have this EXACT same issue with my in laws.
If I hear "Hes fine!" after I repeat what the pedi advised, etc.. Ill die.
That is my most despised phrase when it comes to parenting!!
My parents let us take sips of beer out of their glasses when we were kids. My sister and I turned out ok (except we really really like beer) but my brother is a raging alcoholic.
