Resistant Gonorrhea

A couple of weeks ago I posted a piece about why people are so willing to teach abstinence to smoking, drugs and drinking but not sex.

What if your kid(s) could possibly get antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea from drinking a beer? Would you more or less be inclined to teach them about abstaining from drinking?

I know that the popular culture is to pass out condoms and beg kids to use them but if you don't believe that abstinence training doesn't work how could you possibly think that the message "abstain from sex unless you have a condom" could possibly work?
