Only to a very small extent. Young people like to ‘experiment’ with drugs and alcohol because they often see that everyone else is using them (sometimes even their own parents). Education and knowledge can help a little bit, but in my experience, people just do what they want. Heck, I even know people who are aged 50 and older who never got away from drugs once they got started way back when they were teenagers in school.
‘Sociological knowledge’ and even medical knowledge is usually perceived as a ‘scare tactic’ by young people. They don’t want to hear it. Then they end up with cirrhosis of the liver from drinking too much, Hepatitis A or B, AIDs, die in drunk driving accidents or by ‘accidental’ overdoses, etc. No amount of ‘sociological knowledge’ can really prevent people from experiencing what they *choose* to experience. I know too many of these stories. “So and so died of an overdose last night.” One guy I know (he’s actually the neighborhood computer guru, or was), well, about a month ago he DIED. The doctors brought him back to life. (Methamphetamine use was behind his ‘death’.) The doctors also apparently removed (get this) a full 1/2 of his intestines. His intestines were dead and had to be removed. (!)
No amount of ‘education’ can stop these events. People come down to Earth to have life (and death) experiences. Look at Whitney Houston for example. Great singer, great artist, what one would think was a great life. (She was my age, by the way, around 48.) She’s gone now. Took a bunch of pills and drank a lot of alcohol or whatever and decided to take a bath. Slipped under the water and drowned. ‘Slip Sliding Away’ as the Paul Simon song title says. Amy Winehouse did a similar thing. Great career in front of her and she decided to drink like 10 bottles of, well, wine, and someone found her dead the next day. ‘Slip Sliding Away’.
