My dad used to tell me all of his drug stories and he wouldn't pull any punches. He told me which drugs felt the best and what they felt like. He also told me the bad effects and the ugly world you end up in. I always thought he was just telling me some interesting stories, but he later told me that he told those stories so I wouldn't be curious. I would know the good and the bad. He knew that he tried those things out of curiosity. He also knew that anyone telling him not to do drugs would have had the opposite effect, so he didn't do that with me.
All this would be prefaced by years of both my parents doing a good job raising me, so that foundation was important for the somewhat risky teaching method to work, but it did.
This kind of makes me lean towards the OP being a good idea with the proper foundation in place. They're going to drink regardless, and in some pretty chaotic situations. I don't see letting them know what they're in for doing anymore harm.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
