Leo-j - If your health teacher has been giving you the opinion that caused you to say 'shame on you drinking it' and that if you drink beer than you will die by the time you are 60 then yes they are ill informed. Drinking is an everyday part of life for most people.

Some teachers tell scare stories to put kids off things, sex, drink, drugs etc. but if they are being untruthful then it's counter-productive. Some teachers tell kids that condoms don't work or they teach creationism, so don't take everything they say as the truth. Teachers are there to help you form your own opinions, not force theirs upon you.
