I come from a place where it is easy to get booze at 14, and where it is legal to drink at 16. Our teenager drinking culture is pretty much the same as in the US, probably worse: binge drinking, people sleeping on the sidewalk, dick swinging of "who can drink more", it is a real source of pride to be drunk from thursday to monday.

What a well-designed ban might achieve is reducing the attractiveness of the platform by prevent platforms to host content made by other teenagers, which is one of the main reason to be on social medias at that age.
But you are right, educating her is the best I can do. And then pray that she will be an easy teenager.
