The last one might be too hyperbolic to be applicable, but the first one is a good example. You can't stop most kids from drinking, so why not instill responsible drinking habits in them? The interesting part is that the advice I'm giving is really less nanny-state-ish and more libertarian. I know that if you're educated properly, you can make the right decisions on your own about these things. Forbidding them isn't going to do anything but raise the level of taboo.
