I'm all for teaching moderation to people off all ages. At regular intervals, large amounts of binge drinking will indeed destroy the liver-- but only large amounts.
In Guidance class (the health class for youngsters who weren't ready to witness the banana-condom lecture) in seventh grade, our unit on drugs and alcohol implicated the church. Their logic: if you're encouraged to drink underage, and drinking is so witnessed on a regular basis, it will surely lead to alcoholism. I took offense and voiced it... and got a lower grade!
