it IS a bad idea. This will lead to more drunk driving.
People **do** binge since it's not allowed at their age.
In Europe, kids as young as 13 drink wine at the table with their parents. Alcohol has been in their lives for a long time (i.e. no binging). Drinking becomes a casual experience instead of a "I need to drink as much as I can at this party b/c I won't get any for the rest of the week" type of mentality.
actually, i read an article about a study and it found that most european countries have a bigger binge drinking problem than in the US. which, based on my experience in europe with teenagers, is true. here in high school, since alcohol is so hard to come by, people can only binge drink so often. in germany, there's nothing stopping people from binging every single night. and it happens. i think its all up to responsible parenting.
