Kind of funny how drinking makes everything more fun. Shame.
Its not unhealthy if you go about it in a balanced way.

Don't binge out, or constantly drink. Get a healthy balance.

I think underaged drinking is fine, as long as it's controlled.
Like a bunch of teens drinking behind a store, or something like that is just stupid, yet people do it all the time.
If it's not alot of alcohol, and there is a responsible adult, im fine with it.
And if it's not an "every weekend" thing.
No one likes teen alcoholics

Anything in moderation...

When nutitionists say that, they mean to not consume too much vitamin C, calcium or all that. -Not to eat/drink something like alcohol which has no nutritional value- That way you can balance out all the nutrients.

Perhaps 2 cups of beer is okay a week, although I wouldn't even do that. Wine is the only acceptable thing.

wine is acceptable even though it has three times the alcoholic content of beer?

Most beers average at around 4% alcohol, while wines are generally 11-13%.

Most beer has alot of calories...
According to http://www.atkins.com/carb-counter/?category=Alcohol
12 fl ozs of beer has 146 calories..

I wonder if someone could survive on a diet consisting only of beer.

Alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer??

And Guinness apparently has less calories than any other type of stout or beer... as far as I remember..

Either, not suggesting you do it but I was just wondering if its possible. That would be kind of funny if it is.
