The fact that drinking alcohol under the age of 21 is not only legal here, but strongly encouraged as an important cultural and gastronomical habit, has taken all the fun out of drinking while simultaneously turning me into a raging alcoholic. The other night, feeling a bit under the weather, I turned down a glass of wine at dinner. My host father, Henri, poured me a glass anyway, arguing that wine is a necessary digestive aide.
