This is exactly what happens when you follow the USA model of demonizing a substance. The more they tell people not to do something, the more likely the kids are going to do it. There is a reason why kids who grow up around puritanical beliefs are more rebellious, because they have something to rebel against. Drop the stigma, and the problem lessens. Hype up the stigma, and watch the problem explode.

What the heck does Thai teenage drinking or even any Thai drinking has to do with the USA???

So USA is the only country in this world that has this "model"

Where does this BS come from

Its true, ask at any bar in Pattaya.
