A Mother's perspective

Hello.
My name is Nancy and I have a daughter who is a college student. I am concerned of my daughter's drinking.
Ever since she entered university, she seems to have started drinking with her friends, and have started attending parties. Whenever I start talking to her about her drinking, she does not listen, and says that I do not understand what college people do. She is still 20, and she has one more year until the legal drinking age. I know that she is a college student, and I know a lot of college students drink, but I want her to experience things without the use of alcohol until she is 21. She could still learn new things and have fun without the use of alcohol.
I hear that some university students die from drinking too much alcohol, and I am very concerned  about that. I do not want to lose my child when she has a whole life to live. I, myself have followed the law when i was about her age, and I want her to follow the rules as well. However, I do not want to have so many conflicts with my child concerning drinking, because it will just loosen our ties that we have made troughout the years. How could I prevent her from drinking...?

  3. Though i am a university student, I don't know why most university student want to drink alcohol so much. Actually, I often drink with my friends when we hang out, but i've never gotten drunk and gotten trouble. I think they should think about their health, because drinking too much will do harm for the future. Everything has its limits.
    I don't say that young people should not drinking alcohol, but I think they should why does 未成年者飲酒禁止法 exist and why it was set up. The reason I expect is that there were some incident related to peoples' live or human rights. Therefore, I think it is better for many people to follow the rules as much as possible before it is too late.
