Drinking kids in bad taste; Yourview.AWHISKY expert has called for children from the age of five to be educated about the dangers of alcohol abuse. An 11-year-old girl recently told me that she likes the taste of vodka. She also said that her seven-year-old brother loves lager. The 11-year-old explained that she and her brother have developed their alcoholic preferences because their parents give them some "just for a taste". Surely, any programme of alcohol abuse education should involve teaching irresponsible ir·re·spon·si·ble adj. 1. Marked by a lack of responsibility: irresponsible accusations. 2. Lacking a sense of responsibility; unreliable or untrustworthy. 3. parents such as these the error of their ways. I would imagine they are possibly well drunk when they offer their children alcohol "just for a taste". E.
