Gregory, most schools do have some form of alcohol awareness program, unfortunately, it comes in the form of D.A.R.E., is started way too early and barely touches on alcohol, as the program wants to hammer home the point that DRUGS ARE BAD, even things your parents might use like coffee and cigarettes and wine are DRUGS. Or, some schools have MADD programs where the emphasis is not so much on “don’t drink” but just, don’t get in the car after you drink.
Yes, that’s another tangent, but I have little use for either program. And I do believe that education about sex, drugs and alcohol should come from the parents.
Obviously, that doesn’t always happen. A woman who gives liquor to 200 teenagers is not educating her kids – or the kids at the party – in anything but irresponsibility.
