Hi,
I bow to your superior experience, but I would humbly disagree.
(Me? Humble? Waits for laughter to die down)
I think that things that are forbidden are especially attractive to teens. Which is why countries that have no age limit for drinking have much less trouble with drunk teens. My theory is that the way to raise kids is to prohibit what you want them to do and encourage the behavior you want them to avoid. Of course, you need to switch up every now and again just to keep them off balance and confused.
Just my humble opinion.
