I don't know about the Netherlands, but I'm definitely not doing that in the US if I have kids. Also, that might work most of the time, but it's going to hurt when a portion are addicted and can't easily recover.

Its not possible anymore in the Netherlands either and its showing. More abuse of drugs and alcohol.

A big portion of people is going to get addicted anyways. The America has a far higher amount of addicts of all drugs and alcohol compared to the Netherlands. That is mostly policy and some cultural aspects.
