There are no benefits to drinking before the age of 40. No benefits, only risks... and then after 40 there are some benefits if you consume small amounts of alcohol... 1 or 2 drinks a day (beer and wine) not liquor. 

There's a huge social pressure to drinking as well. In Utah, there's some stigma to drinking... Only 17% of students 18 and under have tried alcohol. Less than a third of the national average.
