french myths1

the myth that - French kids are given watered wine to drink , thus forming a sensible habit unlike the English who often seem to want to drink till they drop is not true .in my experience among a variety of families i've never seen underage wine drinking. the secret of french sobriety seems to be drinking wine as part of a meal not some thing separate. unfortunately binge drinking is begining to spread across the channel . the excuse for the English was a viking heritage so what is the reason for this sudden change in french drinking habits , explanations please
