Teens should not drink at all. Underage drinking is illegal. Those who start to drink at an early age are at great risk of becoming alcoholics.

It’s very important for parents talk with their teens in order to educate them about the dangers of binge drinking.
Have them take part in extracurricular activities like after school sports or programs. This will give them something much healthier and safer to do and make friends.

by hanging out with the right crowd for a start.
I think this may be hard since its not right for teen to be drinking at all let alone binge drinking. Maybe you will have to take that approach. You can find many many reasons for not drinking at all. But how to avoid binge drinking?

Binge Drinking

How Can You Avoid Binge Drinking?
If you go to a bar or a party where you know that alcohol will be served, try these tips to avoid excessive drinking:
Volunteer to be the designated driver, and don’t drink any alcohol. Stick to soda, water or other nonalcoholic beverages.
If you want to drink alcohol, decide in advance how many drinks you will have, and stick to your limit. To avoid a significant BAC, consume no more than one drink if you are female or two if you are male.
Pair up with a friend who also wants to avoid drinking too much. Remind each other to stop or switch to soda when you hit your limit. Remember, “just one more” may impair your judgment and make it harder to stop.
Sip slowly — don’t exceed one drink an hour if you are having more than one drink. Your body continues to absorb alcohol for up to 90 minutes after your last sip, so you may not realize right away how it’s affecting you.
Never drink on an empty stomach.
If you have a mixed drink, add more soda and more ice.
Try not to participate in drinking games or rituals such as drinking through a beer bong or funnel. The intended result is always excessive drinking — and alcohol easily can reach dangerous levels.
Don’t drink more just because the drinks are cheap or free or because you paid a fixed cover charge.
Finally, remember that most of the pressure you may feel to drink alcohol is internal. If you don’t want to drink, people who care about you will accept that decision. You don’t need to drink to have fun.
Binge Drinking puts hair on your nuts for a lack of a better cliche, it just seems like everybody on here is a Nazi and thinks that only of age people should drink. FUCK Em
