Can I have a drink?

Walking to school this morning with my kids my daughter Bryce (8 yo) asked me, "When I am older, can I have a drink once in a while"?

I was a more than a little shocked by the question.  My wife and I occasionally have a drink when we are out but never at home.  I wondered where she learned about "having a drink", and in my head blamed her friends, and the media.  I regained my composure and asked her, "What would you drink"?

Calmly she said, "Sprite or Lemonade".

I responded, "Yes, once in a while it's okay to have Sprite or Lemonade".
