    Possibly useful parenting trick: The first soda our 8 yo son tried was some off-brand grape soda so bad he's never wanted any kind since.

        Friend visited foreign country with bad water as a kid. Went to brush teeth. Parents had no bottled water so used champagne. Similar impact!

        He's doing a net good. Not exposing kid to toxic sugar is clearly the 'right' thing to do :)

        Parents did same for me with alcohol and cigarettes first time I asked. Told me to try it, took one sip and hated it.

        Related tip: the first "soda" our kid got was seltzer and no other flavored fizzy drink. She got hooked and drinks only seltzer ever since.
