they tried that here, along with adjusting the opening hours of bars to make it more of a 'café culture' (ie, don't go out at 8pm and get hammered in 2 hours because the bars shut at 11pm) and it just hasn't worked. Not at all.

I think all parents should get their kids so wasted that they're puking their guts out
so that they think "If I drink, I will die"

Yeah, but I've gotten so wasted that I've puked my guts up and thought I'd die
I still drink, and I still get drunk. Just...more sensibly so than on that occasion.
