However, in recent years, binge drinking has led teens more and more frequently to hospitals because of violence or comas. To avoid this, many parents question their responsibility for the excessive consumption of their child.

Moreover, if it is not in a family setting, the teenager will always end up tasting wine or other in friends or at a party. And in the spirit of revenge, it is possible that he is tempted to drink too much.
