Because there is a huge lobby for Alcohol. So powerful that alcohol isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Schools I attended had all sorts of sex education, there was even free condom Wednesday promoted by a local Clinic. This didn't stop people in my high school from being stupid about sex.

Lobbyists have little to do with it. We tried banning alcohol in the 20s, if you'll recall. Didn't go over too well. Other drugs have negative social stigmas attached to their use, and the government still has a hell of a time trying to enforce those bans. It's hard to enforce a law nobody cares about - just look at speed limits.
I really question the validity of this study. I come down pretty firmly against the abstinence crowd, but 95% of the population? That is such a wild figure it
screams for independent verification. I hesitate to even think about using this as a talking point, the study seems to erroneous. I really have to wonder what sort of population sample they used. Were they counting divorcees?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
