Elise Chassaing – Arte Cultureis it ok for my teenager[14] to drink alcohol occasionally?
we live in louisiana.and in our area it seems ok to alot of the people for teens to drink at family gatherings.and parties.we live in cajun country,and eating good and partying it up[drinking]is a BIG part of the culture!I personally don’t drink with any regularity;and don’t think it is good for teenagers.especially aspiring athletes.to drink .am i wrong to not allow it?i think it is a big deal;and everyone around me says to just let it go.should i stand my ground.and demand more,for even safety,not to mention legal,and health issues?
I’m almost fourteen. No, No and NO!

1987 The Big Easy Opening & Closing Themes with Credits
Here is the opening and closing themes, with credits, from the 1987 New Orleans film “The Big Easy” starring Dennis Quaid as Renny McSwain and Ellen Barkin as Anne Osborne. The opening theme is the fantastic Beau Soleil with their rousing rendition of “Zydeco Gris Gris”. The closing theme is provided by legendary Buckwheat Zydeco and his “Buck’s Nouvelle Jolen Blon”. I fell in love with Louisiana and the Cajun/Creole culture from seeing this movie before I ever lived there.
