In Canada, minors can drink in licensed restaurants if the drink is bought by a parent and with a meal and as far as I know, there are no age restrictions for alcohol at home. Of course, as you said - what parent would give minors alcohol anyway? When I was a kid, we were allowed a small glass of wine at Christmas, Easter, etc - but that was it.

I think it's wrong to give children alcohol. Obviously, these parents missed the health briefing

I do not think that it is wrong to give children alchohol if in small amounts and on special occasions. When I was a child, my parents let me drink alchohol (one drink) whenever it was a holiday, at our own house, once I was thirteen. There are other countries also that don't even have a drinking age. I believe that if not allowed a small drink once in a while, it could cause children to rebel, and drink too much.
