Just a few weeks ago, I would have agreed.

I think that present alcohol education is good and should continue. It should also start earlier. Maybe middle school.

However it occurred to me that it's kind of like Driver Ed. A lot of kids take it -- and ignore it's lessons, break the law, and die in traffic accidents.

I really think this needs to be a peer pressure thing.
