One solution may be the continental way of doing things,in their teens in france for instance a glass of wine is served with a meal therefore when they get older the youngsters are used to having a drink and its not hey were now 18 lets go and get sh-tfaced, on the continent this problem with binge drinking youngsters is hardly seen so they must be doing something right.
