<p>parent57-in my personal experience, the opposite is true, the kids that were binge drinking or even just partying hard every weekend were from home where either the parents didn’t drink at all or very little. Alcohol was viewed as a HUGE taboo in those homes and the kids let loose in college. The kids that grew up with seeing their parents drink a glass of wine or two with dinner or a beer while watching a football game were the ones that were pretty responsible with their drinking in college. That’s not to say they didn’t get drunk on occasion but generally went out, had a couple drinks and that was all.</p>
