I think it's better to encourage them to drink softer alcohol and get a feel for what their limits are first.
I was a very inexperienced drinker before I went to University, and I had some disastrous nights because I am very lightweight and can't handle much. I'm at a point now where I know when I've had enough and actually enjoy being a lighty, because it means I spend less and don't have to drink dangerous amounts.
Making sure they go to college/university knowing what they can handle is more important. Also most important tip for inexperienced drinkers; never drink alcohol on an empty stomach. I did that once, it was a night that cost me £150 and took months to live down (and not in a funny way).

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
