The last quote from Jenny A would confirm my notion that keeping alcohol a complete taboo until they turn 21 could lead to a strange relationship to alcoholic beverages where they are only seen as some sort of forbidden fruit, almost like a symbol of rebellion or independence. If the first and only context you're exposed to alcohol is secret forbidden binge drinking parties, how are you ever going to develop a healthy attitude towards it?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
