My parents were not LDS but never cooked with alcohol. Of course, my mother, bless her soul, was not especially gifted in the kitchen.

During the holidays my parents would add rum to our bouche de Noel and some other desserts. Always made the holidays better.
I don't think your teenage drinking is particularly wayward from a normative standpoint. Other than a small bottle of cooking wine, I don't think we have any alcohol in the home. Teenagers can get alcohol so easily outside of the home, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. But I think your position is reasonable.

Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...but it might work for us.
