Your argument is similar to the argument for teaching only abstinence. Regardless of whether it's truly better to abstain until marriage - it's been shown that teaching abstinence as the only option leads to more high-risk behavior than teaching safe sex. Teenagers will have sex regardless; but with good sex education, they might change their behavior and say, use a condom, or get on the pill.

I don't know how feasible it would be to create such a culture. Alcohol use is so normalized it seems almost impossible to change. (Yet, there have been experiments like Prohibition; those didn't go well.)
