Can Sips at Home Prevent Binges?
By: Eric Asimov
The New York Times, March 26, 2008
“It usually doesn’t take. Most of the time kids — teenagers, anyway — would as soon snicker at their old man’s obsessions as indulge him. Even so, I can’t help hoping that my sons might share my taste in music and food, books and movies, ball teams and politics. Why should wine be any different?”
Stuff White People Like examines the issue: Should white children be allowed to drink wine?
Yes:
White people need to learn about wine as soon as possible. Not learning until college puts them at an inherent disadvantage to Europeans and white children raised abroad. It is strongly recommended that children learn about wine regions, vintages, terroir, and tannins in elementary school to give them that all important leg up when they reach college.
Being able to declare “my favorite wine as a child” in a conversation is recognized as more impressive than stories about extended visits to wine regions. In fact, it can only be topped by a story about opening your own vineyard.
No:
White people also enjoy binge drinking.
Final Call:
White children should drink wine. They should not be allowed to drink beer or other “party” liquors.
man, no comments yet…could someone have jumped the shark?
Ha ha… Might have!

stuffwhitepeoplelike mentioned by Oprah Winfrey yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
You are an evil, evil person…….!
What’s wrong with Oprah?
Link actually takes you to a music video of Ric Astley from the 80s. my mind has mercifully blotted out the name of the tune in my memory.
Very funny. I should have looked at the “Do NOT go there” line a little more closely.
“Never Gonna Give You Up” Deliciously painful like Patty Duke’s performance in “Valley of the Dolls”
White people also like Oprah.
White women anyway.
Stuff white people like: being rick-rolled!
Have some faith.
McCain hates the phrase jumping the shark, having jumped the shark himself.
How does one jump a shark anyway? I never understood that.

it’s an obscure to a happy days episode where fonzie jumped over a shark.
since most feel this was done to gather ratings for a show that had run out of steam and ideas, it is used for the expression.

maybe he drank to much wine at home with his parents,
I read at http://detentionslip.org that even some school teachers get caught buying booze for students.
Urban white people have to follow these rules in lock step otherwise they will be shunned. This is what i like to call being “fashionably liberal” many women fall into this trap.
No child should ever drink wine!
Where do you come up with this stuff?

I’m #2, woo-hoo!!!
This article presented me something to worry about in the future when I have those hypothetical children that exist now only in my head.
I did find it a bit insulting, the idea that binge drinking is ALWAYS wrong, however.
self-pwned, doh!!!
nice work!
Ugh my girlfriend wants to own a vineyard when she gets old. I think only white women should drink wine when their kids, then they’ll drink that in college instead of tequila slammers which often leads to bro slamming.
“bro slamming” Are you serious? You must have had your college g/f stolen but a group of well endowed handsome athletic black guys…
let it go. it was in college.
http://www.platenuts.com
what is “bro slamming” anyway? is it… is it… mansex? btw otherwise straight frat “bros”??
But most of all, I wish to inculcate in my progeny a love for microbrews.
somebody’s in trouble
are you on this blog to
Not sure this would fly with the White Aristocrat Set in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Those jerks wrap their kids in plastic until they are 14.
Reading SWPL I’ve learned about Williamsburg (Billyburg) & now Park Slope. I didn’t know from Welcome Back, Mister Cocktail about Brooklyn & I kinda liked it that way.
Why do I feel so demeaned by my new-found knowledge?
**********************************************
Nice blog you got there Jose. FREAKONOMICS is the biggest sham ever perpetrated on the masses with the possibly exception of One Hour Martinizingtm .
iHaunt is most apropos.
SWPL was an erstwhile favorite iHaunt of mine. Now…no so much.
Miles read about it in the “Arts & Leisure” section. It was a Christo/Performance Art trend.
My dad and stepmom always let me drink a little wine with dinner from the time I was a kid. Of course, now I have their palate, but they have great taste. I can say things like, “I’ve been drinking Pinot Noirs **long** before “Sideways” came out.”
I was always allowed to sample the wines underage, but I never had a glass of my own.
Stuff white people like includes blindly clicking on links, per this article:

Feel free to also blindly click on this link:

BTW, when I was a kid, my father used to mix a raw egg into a glass of Mogen David grape wine and give it to me for breakfast.
My favorite wine as a child…
“But Mom…. I don’t like Brie!”
Great comment
You can substitute Goat Cheese for Brie or any other soft cheese except Velvetta and Cheez Whiz
Did the original blog writers leave?
yep they are dinking wine with their kids
Did the original blog writers leave?
Dude, you are becoming the voice of a generation. I’m sure you didn’t have that intent when you started all of this, but i currently list you and barack obama as my two heroes.
I really like the direction of this article. Would someone please give him a TV show?
Barack obama is an anti-white liberal, dumb-ass. His wife is a raving White-hater.
Hero? Are you stupid or something?
I swear to God I was just debating this wine issue in the shower with myself this morning. I AM LILY WHITE.
Seriously, can you guys just go back to being funny? There are no shortage of other things that white people like (or rather, that rich people like, which is what this blog really is).
Are you saving everything for the book now?
Or rather, what young rich liberal American urbanites like. None of the things posted on this site are characteristically or stereotypically “white.”
Again, doofus, this site is about the “Right Kind” of white person, not the “Wrong Kind”.
This is so well put I’m thinking of embroidering it upon the screen of my MacBook Air.
No way Jose.
The right kind of Whites do not marry asians or blacks or jews — and have non-White kids. Those are the wrong kind of Whites, that cease to even be White.
Oh, dear God. Can the Anons just go back to Stormfront, please? We get it, Jews lurk behind every door, wake up white people, the immigrants are taking over, blah blah blah.
http://www.stormfront.org ??
fact
Are you saying these people aren’t “White”????
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahaha!!!!!!
you cannot get more “White”!!!!!!!!!!!!
If any White person has a problem with people taking on the MSM, then why are they even on the internet?
http://www.amren.com is a good place for Whites.
http://www.vdare.com is also good.
Cheers!
Nah, rest assured you’re a level five white if that makes you feel better. It’s just that it gets a little annoying to see what’s basically a light hearted website turned into a heavy racial discourse. With the same argument over and over and over. But I guess anything invoking race can’t stay light hearted for long.
saving everything for the book?!?!?! You must have heard too. Could it be that white people like sandbagging?

Anonymous: You think Clander’s going to publish his dynamite final drafts on this fucking blog so everyone can read them for free. No mon, no fun.
no sense of humor I guess, drinking wine with your parents gives you a sense of humor
I like the break from the list only format
Also, wanted to note that this site gave me that little extra push to start writing my own thing about local agriculture and how we can marry this idea with pretentious ideaologies about food. Since it is kind of related… http://culiinist.com
This site is like Ashton Kutcher… mildly funny for approximately 10 minutes and then excruciatingly annoying for the rest of your life.
greatest comment every posted on this site.
I don’t know about that… this site provokes a mild chuckle almost every time I check it, but I feel entirely neutral about Ashton Kutcher.
Ashton kutcher…………where, where is he !!!!! is he here
Yes, Ashton Kutcher is blech… but you do know that you don’t have to come to this site, right?
What kid wouldn’t like drinking? Thats where you learn!

Weak entry. We want the original clander.
SWPL is more like opening a sustainable, non-profit wind-powered vineyard in a place where grapes don’t normally grow like Oregon. And you have to be able to order the wine from your iPhone.
OMG…this is so spot on! and guess what Ohio is the new Oregon. They used to grow grapes there before tobacco, which made more money.
Also, it’s true white women dream of having their own vineyard.
As for children and wine..my daughter loves her JD.
eeeehhhhh not your best blog
I don’t know who told you grapes don’t grow in oregon, but they do.. in vast amounts, too. some of the best pinots in the world, for instance!
I don’t know about wine, but maybe crack cocaine.
Getting less funny around here every day and anyone who posts…
“First”
“1st”
“#1″
And even those dorks who think posting “I’m #2″ is cool should be kicked in the nuts (or the vagine… as you will).
Especially posting “#2″ when you’re actually number 3.
that’d be “vagina”
YOU’RE the vagina, you retard. “Vagine” is an acceptable play on words.
McCain hates wine.
Also children.
John McCain hates you.
John McCain would bitch slap you if John McCain’s arms worked properly.
(By the way, do you know what John McCain frickin’ loves? Referring to himself — that would be John McCain — in the third person.)
P.S. Your posts are prohibited by a little-known clause in McCain-Feingold. Feds in black helicopters will visit your home shortly. Kiss the kids on the forehead and pat the wife on the ass because you won’t be seeing them for a while. A long while.
McCain loves black helicopters.
and drinking wine with his kids
Yeah but i thought he was brilliant in Die Hard. Hahahahaha.!!
Miles usually votes Republican, but he thinks America is ready for a black President: Chris Rock
