Teenagers drink alcohol, and it seems that there aren’t too many things a parent can do about it. Though it is important to educate the younger population on the repercussions of over indulging in alcohol, and of operating vehicles while being intoxicated, perhaps it should not be made taboo. In Europe, people drink from an earlier age, in a family environment, where they learn to enjoy it in moderation. However, some argue that this is not a true assessment of what happens to those who begin drinking earlier in life. They claim that the result is the opposite. Ultimately, each individual child requires a different parental philosophy.
