I think a lot of people don’t realize how alcohol is poison. (And I drink a half bottle of wine nightly). My dad told me a story of a guy he knew who when younger who sat at a bar and quietly just drank and drank and drank and then. . .simply died. Also the danger of “21 shots on the 21st birthday”—I think that happens.

There are health classes in high schools—the danger of death from drinking should be taught.

Even if the child had survived, she would have probably been messed up permanently.

I've never heard of the "21 shots on the 21st birthday" celebration of introduction to adult alcohol consumption. Families that consume alcohol moderately and responsibly (e.g. wine with dinner) tend to teach the same thing to their kids, so when the kids grow up they don't go wild when they hit their majority.

Good idea, like driver education. But there are a lot of things they don't teach and should be teaching.
