It's funny. I grew up with people whose parents were Italian, Austrian, French, etc. Their parents gave them a small glass of wine with dinner on special occasions. They learned that alcohol was something to enhance a meal not something to abuse. Making alcohol forbidden makes it much more attractive and tempting.

I totally agree. I was allowed to drink in high school. By allowing me to do so, my parents showed me that within reason, alcohol is fine. My friends whose parents wouldn't allow them to drink went crazy when they hit college, just because alcohol was forbidden and desirable.
