i would rather catch my kid smoking some pot, rather than drinking...
either way, he needs to learn "when to say when" with any "relaxation
method".....he is just trying to escape the pressures of school, social

life, or whatever the case may be...Try and have him discover other
ways
of relaxing, as the pressure will probabaly be higher, later in
life....

just my $.02.....good luck !!
