Don't serve teens? Or teach them responsible drinking habits?

       Many people who oppose lowering or completely abolishing the drinking age would argue that there are many teens that are not responsible enough to consume alcohol. I agree there are many teens that are not capable of making good decisions while they consume alcohol, but at the same time I feel like there are many teens that are. A main concern for people against lowering the drinking age is alcohol addiction but at the same time, nothing is being done to prevent it. In society no one tries to teach safe or responsible drinking habits to teenagers. In programs such as “Drug Abuse Resistance Education” and even health classes, the only approach made to alcohol is that alcohol is bad and people should stay away from it. As I was searching the internet I came across an interesting webstie called "Don't Serve Teens" and it gives advice to parents to keep their teenagers away from alcohol, not advice with teaching them responible drinking. Instead of abstinence always being the approach to alcohol consumption, responsible drinking habits need to be taught. If safer drinking habits were taught, the problems with substance abuse would greatly decrease and I feel like more people would feel a lot better about the drinking age being lowered. As a premature 20 year old, it is natural to want to do exactly the opposite when told that one is not allowed to do something; all going back to the "forbidden fruit effect." If you are underage, do you agree? And for those of you who are of age, what are your thoughts on this debate?
