But, I guess if you're drinking with your family then there might be less of a tendency to get hammered (unless your family is intolerable, then...drink till you puke).

I could be a case study to prove GWNC's point. Growing up, we were allowed to drink wine at dinner on special occasions. My underage relatives are still allowed to do this in my family.
While I was in high school, my best friend's parents encouraged all their kids and kids' friends to drink at their house so there would be supervision. We drank just as much and got into a lot less trouble than our classmates who were stumbling around in the woods.
The sad irony was that my friend's sister was killed by a drunk driver.
