Answer for: What's the best way to promote responsible drinking?
#1 Eliminate the drinking age.
Deregulate alcohol industry.
Government mandates on alcohol percentage, classification of spirits and of course the drinking age have created the culture of alcohol consumption as a taboo "rite of passage" for teenagers.
In this environment, alcohol is seen as dangerous and alluring, and its consumption romantic and a point of personal pride and willful self-expression.
Let kids drink responsibly at home, deregulate the alcohol industry to allow for low-alcohol spirits and you'll greatly reduce abuse of alcohol among youth, and end the ridiculous government fetish with controlling what could be -- and would be -- innocuous behavior.
