I totally agree that drinking has a learning curve - it usually takes a while to know your own tolerance for various drinks and combinations with other drinks and food and how your mood changes.
That's why I still think its silly to have such a high drinking age in the US - I learned this stuff as a teenager (in Germany beer/wine as of 16, hard liquer as of 18 years old) when you are more irresponsible anyway and by the time I e.g. got my drivers license and went to university the novelty had worn off already.
