YOU. CAN. NOT. STOP. THEM. FROM. GETTING. IT. that is the factual truth. So, make sure they learn to do it responsibly. The more you screech that they can't do it, the more they will want to do it. To the point where they will drink as much as possible just because you don't want them to.
Its basic human behaviour and the drinking age only makes it worse. During my post-exam school ball a couple of people i knew had taken flasks with wodka with them, not because they necessarily wanted to drink, but because the school strictly forbade alcohol. So just as a middle finger action they gave as much to as many that asked for it.

Don Al Capone loved that post. That's the most awesome and cool idea I've ever heared! Let us go ahead and ban the booze and cigs! May mafia run the show in the country! And if ya' agree to hold the prohibition for longer, they might help ya' to win next elections. Have a critic? Well... now he is silent as a fish. A candidate somehow gained more votes? Oh dear! Why did he commit suicide so suddenly?!
Who cares if someone tries to make his own booze and poisons himself to death with it? Or if his distiller explodes into thousands of pieces, like good ol' frag grenade! Or if someone has the infamous delirium tremens from withdrawal, and he can't get the booze he really needs, and becasue of that he goes total loco! That's taxpayer's money after all! And we all know, that taxpayer's money is better spent on more cops rather than doctors.

Sounds like an awesome place to live in! It never gets boring! Action, Jackson! ^^
Seriously, should this ever become a thing (I live in a country which has never tried prohibition), they can pry the booze and the cigs from my cold, dead hands.

But I too say they can pry my vape out of my cold dead hands.

I agree. If an adolescent is drinking behind the school or whatever, then confiscate the booze and make sure their parents talk to them about it, but putting kids through the criminal justice system over alcohol possession is insane.

Which is honestly quite reasonable.
You could also go down the Italian route and give kids wine to drink at dinner.
We need to lower the age of consumption of alcohol so that children can be better supervised if they drink too much. That way they can know their limits in a safe environment

That's right, the government has decided that it is dangerous for you to consume alcohol before 21, but A-ok to potentially end up on a battlefield getting fired upon by ISIS. You can't drink a beverage before 21 but you can give your life for america. What kind of logic is that?
