I don't think instilling a good attitude towards drink would aggravate the problem. In England, drinking per se is not part of the culture; getting hammered at the weekend is. The phenomenal growth of alcopops is testament to this. They allow you to get plastered without the inconvenience of acquiring a taste for alcoholic drinks which, by and large, do not taste sugary and sweet.
Edit
Actually for 'England' I should have said the whole of the UK - Scotland has a binge-drinking problem that is worse than England's amongst adults at least. Not sure about Wales.
