A lot of people "learn how to drink" in college, often through trial and fire. Many of us have a few stories of getting too drunk in our early 20's and learning those consequences the "hard way". Considering how likely it is for any given young college student to engage in drinking/partying after leaving home, getting that knowledge in the safety of their parents home, ideally through experiences less harmful then maybe expected through learning the "hard way", guided by the more-experienced parents, what you suggest makes a lot of sense to me. For example, some people find it nearly impossible to stop drinking when they start, or they may have an alcohol intolerance leading to inebriation with much smaller amounts of alcohol - great information to know before going into an environment like college.
