Alot of schools have the S.A.D.D program but that doesn't really help unless you are actually in the organization and actively participating.
They do have some programs for teaching about alcohol in school, but they are very vague and mostly center around not drinking and driving. Really, I have to say I agree with Afrobean on this one and I think that the best way to have kids learn about alcohol is to be taught by the parents. If you know how to drink responsibly from a younger age, you're less inclined to abuse it in the future. (I knew a few friends whose parents sat them down in front of several bottles of beer/hard liquor and were told to drink to their heart's content. Then, in the morning, they were forced to deal with the painful consequences.)
And, lol, at my high school we didn't learn about how to do sex responsibly--we learned how to abstain. (gg Texas & it's retarded distribution of sex ed funding!)
