When will the US learn that forbidden fruit is the most tempting? The only way to successfully fight underage drinking and drug use is to lower demand. Teaching kids early about alcohol and being honest with them about the acceptance of safe moderate drinking is the way to curtail the rebellious binge drinking. In regards to the situation the author’s daughter was in, I would say I feel more comfortable allowing my 18 year-old to go to an adult supervised prom after-party with alcohol than think about what they will be no doubt be doing three months later on college campuses.
