Underage drinking is the fault of the parent... or is it?

In my opinion - it is the fault of the parent for letting minors drink alcohol - but what if they are completely oblivious to it and the child does it to rebel/out of their own choice.

People regularly blame parents for not bringing up their kids properly and allowing them to drink but children will "rebel" as a chance to get back at their parents because they think that they are hard done by or as result of peer pressure.

On the other hand - if a kid isn't brought up to fully understand the risk of underage drinking and the effects it has on the liver, as well as having proper ground rules in place, then surely it is the responsibility of the parents?

Should get a few conflicts of opinion.
