Not necessarily ill-informed, but "alcohol is bad" is an attrocious over-simplification of a complex issue.

How old are you? It's pretty much a universal habit with a lot of things to just tell kids "X is bad, don't do it under any circumstances!!!", and then when they get older their parents will gradually start hinting "you know this one thing is actually not all that bad if you're a responsible adult blah blah".

Obviously this isn't a thread for minors, but that should be pretty evident from the topic.
