Seba,
I understand what taboo can do and how many taboos we had back there.
I still have a lot of youngers asking me questions that they can't ask their parents, as most of questions would freak them out. It is important for kids to have someone they can trust and they can ask for opinion.
Well, my country is one of these where I was able to buy beer at age of 5. (I actualy started to go out in the bars at age of 13
, at the age of 16 I was already 'old man')
