Never experienced this before but several different sets of friends and relatives seemed very keen to offer DD drink this year. She'll be 15 in the spring and she's often had a little glass of fizz with us when there's a celebration, or sips of our wine if she's asked. And the occasional shandy etc.
One adult friend was constantly topping her prosecco up - I deliberately gave her a small glass, and he kept commenting saying I was babying her etc. Then my brother arrived on boxing day with a load of fruit ciders for her, suggesting she might like these now she's 'nearly 15'. Even MIL thought it was a laugh to give her some sloe vodka. And another relative bought her a beer in the pub!
I'm not anti drink at all, in fact me and DH drink far more than the recommended amount, particularly over this sort of holiday, but why encourage DD to start drinking when she hasn't even expressed that much interest. Seems weird to me.
